Sr. Site Reliability Engineer

What are we looking for:

• Hands-on experience in deploying and managing Kubernetes clusters in airgap environments, preferably within financial institutions or similarly regulated industries, is required.
• Familiarity with a cloud-native CI/CD tool used for Kubernetes deployments is necessary.
• Knowledge of GKE (Google Cloud Platform) and RKE (Rancher Kubernetes Engine) is preferred.
• Knowledge of Rook-Ceph distributed storage is preferred.
• You should be able to manage multi-region clusters for disaster recovery.
• You should have experience working with programmable infrastructure, such as building a CI/CD pipeline.
• Familiarity with monitoring and observability tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, and the ELK stack is expected.
• You should possess good knowledge of Linux operating systems and be proficient in troubleshooting OS issues.
• It is essential not to use terms like high availability or resilient systems without a thorough understanding of their basics, as building such systems in practice requires significant effort.
• Knowledge of security and compliance frameworks and best practices relevant to financial institutions is necessary.
• Preferred certifications include CKA (Certified Kubernetes Administrator) and CKAD (Certified Kubernetes Application Developer).

What you will be learning and doing

• You will be working with customers trying to transform their applications and adopt cloud-native technologies. The technologies used will be Kubernetes, Prometheus, Service Mesh, and public cloud technologies or on-premise infrastructure.
• The problems and solutions are continuously evolving in space but fundamentally you will be solving problems with the simplest and most scalable automation.
• You will be hacking around open source projects, understand their capabilities, and limitations, and apply the right tool for the right job.
• You will be educating the customers - from their operations engineers to developers on scalable ways to build and operate applications in modern cloud-native infrastructure
