As a key hire on a growing engineering team, you’ll have a deep impact on engineering practices and culture.

As a SRE you will:

• Deploy and maintain our infrastructure 
• Document every action so your findings turn into repeatable actions–and then into automation.
• Improve the deployment process to make it as boring as possible.

• You're focused, driven and can get challenging projects across the finish line.
• You're empathetic, patient and love to help your teammates grow.
• You have a rare ability to collaborate with and influence diverse engineering teams to improve the reliability, scalability and durability of their services.
• You have experience running apps in production and take engineering best practices seriously.
• You understand the value of great logging, proper monitoring, and error tracking.

Requirements:

• Fluent in Python
• Minimum of 3 years of industry software engineering or IT automation experience
• Familiar with the Ansible, Terraform, Docker and AWS or related tools.
• Solid grasp of Linux systems and networking concepts.
• The get-stuff-done type and you are excited to be part of different projects within the context of a growing startup.

• Strong testing background: experience building unit, integration, performance, and load tests

Bonus Points:

• You are familiar with running systems with a microservice-based architecture
