Role Overview
Our client is a high‑growth software development organization focused on a large decentralized crypto social network. To support expansion and ensure continuous uptime of its high‑throughput environment, the company seeks an experienced Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) Expert.
Key Responsibilities
- Own Foundation & Architecture: Design, scale, and maintain highly available, multi‑region, or active‑active cloud infrastructure patterns
- Incident Response & Reliability: Lead critical incident response efforts, participate in real on‑call rotations, and drive comprehensive, blameless post‑mortems to continually harden the system
- Automation & Tooling: Write clean, production‑grade automation code (Python, Go, or similar) for infrastructure tooling, operators, and seamless systems integration
- Risk & Security Management: Exercise judgment regarding system risks, balancing rapid deployment velocity with robust infrastructure safety and stability
- Operational Excellence: Raise the engineering and operational bar through rigorous standards, modern tooling, and technical mentorship
Requirements
- Deep expertise in infrastructure‑as‑code (Terraform/OpenTofu), network topology, high‑availability architecture, and system internals
- Proven track record building foundational infrastructure (0→1) and running high‑availability environments where reliability is treated with financial‑system level seriousness
- Advanced proficiency with modern cloud providers (AWS, GCP) and container orchestration platforms (Kubernetes)
- Strong capacity to operate independently in high‑stakes environments, deciding when to gather consensus versus when to execute autonomously
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with infrastructure security hardening, IAM architecture, or compliance mapping (e.g., SOC2, ISO)
- Hands‑on experience managing and scaling high‑throughput, low‑latency data backbones and event streaming systems (Kafka, Redpanda, PostgreSQL)
- Understanding of Web3/crypto infrastructure patterns and comfort operating within them
Benefits
- Competitive Base Salary
- Equity and Token Allocation
