The SRE is a team in the Engineering organisation that applies the well-known SRE mentality to Unbabel's "You Build It, You Run It" approach. Our mission is to use a software engineering mindset to deliver and maintain a set of services that form the backbone where the services are built and run by the rest of the Engineering teams.
Responsibilities:
- Develop the platform that supports our business services, improving the systems that implement provisioning/automation, deployment, monitoring, and others
- Collaborate with the other engineering teams to focus on improving the usability of those systems and advising on best practices for building scalable and reliable applications
- Work with different open-source/third-party and cloud-native technologies
- We are searching for someone who brings fresh ideas, demonstrates a unique and informed viewpoint, and enjoys collaborating with a cross-functional team to develop real-world solutions and positive user experiences at every interaction
Must haves:
- Excellent English verbal and written communication skills
- Engineering Degree or equivalent
- Knowledge of SRE best practices
- SRE experience developing, running and debugging multiple distributed systems at scale, in production
- Ability to collaborate cross-functionally and effectively with diverse, fast-paced teams
- Experience managing Kubernetes clusters and serverless environments
- Solid knowledge of Linux, container internals, and computer networking
- Experience working with monitoring/observability systems (e.g. Prometheus, Thanos, Grafana)
- Experience in shell scripting and strong software development skills with one of the following: Python, Go, Java, Rust, Ruby, C/C++, or any similar programming language
- Experience with any major cloud provider, preferably AWS
- User experience with technologies like Docker, Kubernetes, Nginx, or Apache
Nice to have:
- Experience in supporting or mentoring other engineers
- Experience in creating response plans against Infrastructure and disaster failovers
- Experience with technologies like Terraform, ArgoCD, GitLab CI/CD, and Hashicorp Vault
