About the Role:

We are looking for a talented Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) to help ensure the reliability, scalability, and efficiency of our systems and services.

  • Resolve live production incidents and perform root cause analysis to prevent future issues.
  • Automate operational tasks and reduce manual labor wherever possible.
  • Collaborate with development teams on observability, monitoring, and architectural improvements.
  • Evaluate and implement technical solutions to meet business and scalability requirements.
  • Participate in operational shifts and on-call rotations as required.


Must-Have Skills & Experience:

  • Minimum 3 years of experience in Apache Kafka administration.
  • Strong software engineering skills, with experience in Java.
  • Hands-on experience with Kubernetes, Docker, Helm, and Argo.
  • Experience building and maintaining distributed, multi-tenant systems.
  • Skilled in monitoring and observability of complex systems.
  • Strong problem-solving skills in distributed environments.
  • Experience with automation and reducing operational toil.


Nice-to-Have:

  • Knowledge of Confluent Platform and Confluent Cloud.
  • Experience working with database systems.
