We are hiring a Site Reliability Engineer
Our goal is to perfect enterprise infrastructure DevOps practices, raising the bar on what's possible with automation by embracing a model-driven approach, whether on-premise or on public clouds.
We run hundreds of private cloud, Kubernetes clusters, and applications for customers across both physical and public cloud estates. We identify and address incidents, monitor and observe applications, anticipate potential issues, and enable product refinement to ultimately achieve high-quality standards in our open source portfolio.
To succeed in this role, you need to have a strong background in Linux, Python, networking, and knowledge of how clouds work. Your work will encompass the entire stack, from bare-metal networking and kernel up to Kubernetes and open source applications. You can expect to be trained in our core technologies like OpenStack, Kubernetes, security standards, open source products like Kubeflow, Kafka, OpenSearch, databases, and many others.
Automation for us is a software engineering problem that we approach with a scientific mindset to bring operations at scale, driven by metrics and code.
Location: Globally remote role
The role
We deploy and run OpenStack, Kubernetes, storage solutions, and open source applications, applying DevOps practices.
To become a member of our team, you need to be a software engineer fluent in Python, you need a genuine interest in the full open source infrastructure stack from bare metal to containers, and you need the ability to work in operations with mission-critical services for global brand-name customers.
As a member of the team, you will gain experience in a broad range of cloud technologies. We evolve our offerings as the state of the art improves, so you get to stay current with the latest capabilities in open source infrastructure.
What we are looking for in you
- Degree in software engineering or computer science
- Python software development experience
- Operational experience in Linux environments
- Experience with Kubernetes deployment or operations
- Excellent interpersonal skills, curiosity, flexibility, and accountability
- Ability to travel internationally twice a year, for company events up to two weeks long
Bonus skills
- Familiarity with OpenStack deployment or operations
- Familiarity with public cloud deployment or operations
- Familiarity with private cloud management

We consider geographical location, experience, and performance in shaping compensation worldwide. We adjust compensation every 6 months to ensure we recognize outstanding performance, and in addition to base pay, we offer annual bonuses. We provide all team members with additional benefits, which reflect our values and ideals. We balance our programs to meet local needs and ensure fairness globally.

- Personal learning and development budget of USD 2,000 per year
- Every 6 months compensation review
- Recognition rewards
