As a Senior SRE at Salla, you will lead reliability initiatives, handle complex incidents, improve platform performance, and guide engineering teams toward building resilient systems. You will also participate in the on-call rotation as part of our commitment to platform reliability.
Requirements
Reliability & Incident Management
- Lead high-severity incident response and drive post-incident reviews.
- Troubleshoot complex issues across applications, infrastructure, and networks.
- Improve MTTR through better monitoring, alerts, and diagnostic tooling.
- Participate in the on-call rotation supporting production systems.
Performance & Scalability
- Identify and resolve performance bottlenecks and scaling challenges.
- Conduct load testing and capacity planning for high-traffic scenarios.
Infrastructure & Operations
- Enhance cloud-native infrastructure, deployment processes, and automation.
- Improve resilience, fault-tolerance, and recovery mechanisms across systems.
Observability
- Build and refine dashboards, alerts, metrics, logs, and traces.
- Define SLIs/SLOs and improve visibility into system behavior.
Tooling & Automation
- Develop tools that reduce operational toil and increase reliability.
- Contribute to infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD pipelines, and GitOps workflows.
Collaboration
- Work closely with engineering teams to ensure services are robust and production-ready.
- Mentor engineers on reliability, debugging, and operational best practices.
Required Skills
- Strong experience with Kubernetes, service mesh technologies, and cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure).
- Deep understanding of Linux, networking, distributed systems, and load balancers.
- Hands-on with Terraform or similar IaC tools.
- Experience with Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Mimir, Elastic, or similar observability tools.
- Proficiency in scripting/programming (Bash, Python, Go).
- Experience with CI/CD and GitOps.
- Strong debugging, incident response, and performance analysis skills.
Bonus Skills
- Background in large-scale, high-traffic systems.
- Experience with fault-tolerant design, DR, and HA patterns.
- Familiarity with SLOs, SLIs, and error budgets.
Location Preference
- Candidates located within GMT 0 to +6 time zones are preferred to align with team collaboration and on-call coverage.
