Site Reliability Engineer (Senior)

Join us as a Senior Site Reliability Engineer to design, build, and scale the infrastructure behind large-scale, cloud-native systems. You’ll partner with experienced engineers to combine your understanding of distributed systems, security, and scalability with your expertise in Kubernetes and modern cloud platforms. Your work will help ensure our services are reliable, performant, and secure.

This is a role for senior, self-sufficient engineers who enjoy solving ambiguous problems, owning systems end-to-end, and mentoring peers as we push the limits of our product. As a senior member of the team, you will be responsible for whole projects with strategic value, bring clarity to areas of deeper complexity, and empower a team to do its best work. Your scope of work affects multiple projects or streams of work. In return you can expect latitude in how you choose to run projects and design systems, while receiving direct support, guidance, and coaching from Bit Complete’s Partners.

What you'll be doing

• System Design: Design, implement, and operate highly available, high-performance, and scalable systems in cloud-native environments.
• Kubernetes: Build and scale Kubernetes clusters and containerized workloads from the ground up.
• Infrastructure-as-Code: Develop and maintain infrastructure-as-code using tools like Terraform and Pulumi.
• Databases & Services: Maintain and optimize databases and backend services (PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, Redis) to meet evolving needs.
• Scalability & Observability: Lead initiatives on stateless architectures, CI/CD pipelines, and observability (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTSDB, Envoy) to enhance scalability, maintainability, and reliability.
• Leadership & Mentorship: Provide guidance and mentorship to the infrastructure team, fostering a culture of collaboration and continuous improvement.

Your Background

• Programming Experience: Experience coding in at least one modern language such as Python, Go, or JavaScript. We value technology generalists who are curious and comfortable learning new areas of the stack, and we’ll support you as you grow into new technologies.
• SRE Expertise: A background in Site Reliability Engineering or a similar role, with hands-on experience scaling systems, contributing technical leadership, and designing distributed, cloud-native architectures.
• Cloud & Containers: Experience with cloud infrastructure and container orchestration, including AWS or GCP, Docker, Kubernetes, and Infrastructure-as-Code tools such as Terraform or Pulumi.
• Databases & Observability: Knowledge of databases and observability technologies such as PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, Redis, Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTSDB, plus solid Linux, debugging, and troubleshooting skills.
• Communication: Strong communication skills with the ability to work effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
