We are looking for a Senior SRE Engineer to drive the design, implementation, and evolution of our Kubernetes-based platform in a multi-cloud environment (GCP/AWS). At Finom, SREs are not just executors of tasks; you are the architects of reliability.
This role requires strong ownership of reliability, scalability, and platform architecture for high-load, mission-critical systems operating 24/7.
What You Will Be Doing
Lead the Platform Evolution: Design and operate our Kubernetes ecosystem (GKE, multi-cluster) with a focus on high availability and zero-downtime operations.
Build "Paved Roads": Own and evolve our PaaS strategy, using GitOps (ArgoCD) and CI/CD (GitLab) to empower domain teams to deploy independently.
Architect Reliability: Define and implement our observability strategy across metrics, logs, and tracing (Prometheus, VictoriaMetrics, OpenTelemetry).
Drive Infrastructure-as-Code: Lead the automation of our infrastructure using Terraform, ensuring all resources are standardized and version-controlled.
Own the Error Budget: Partner with engineering teams to establish and manage SLOs, SLAs, and incident management frameworks.
Disaster Recovery Mastery: Design and participate in regular DR drills, implementing blue/green and active/passive strategies across regions to ensure service continuity.
Innovate Operations: Proactively apply AI-driven approaches to improve operational efficiency and automated bottleneck detection.
Who You Are
Production K8s Mastery: Strong hands-on experience managing Kubernetes (GKE preferred) in high-load, multi-cluster production environments.
Cloud Infrastructure: Deep experience with GCP (AWS is a strong plus) and Terraform for large-scale infrastructure.
GitOps Expertise: Solid experience with ArgoCD, GitLab CI, and the "Infrastructure as Code" philosophy.
Observability Expert: Deep knowledge of the Prometheus/Grafana stack and implementing tracing/logging at scale.
System Design: Proven ability to design highly available 24/7 systems with automated failover and rollback capabilities.
English Fluency: English level B2+ for effective cross-functional communication.
Nice-to-Haves
Compliance Knowledge: Understanding of banking-grade standards like PCI DSS, GDPR, or ISO 27001.
Distributed Systems: Experience with Kafka (Confluent), RabbitMQ, or managing high-load Redis and PostgreSQL clusters.
AI for Ops: Experience using AI tools to improve alerting, anomaly detection, or engineering efficiency.
Security-Minded: Experience with Vault for secret management and credential rotation.
Our Infrastructure Landscape
Primary Cloud: GCP (~90%)
Orchestration & Deploy: GKE, ArgoCD, GitLab CI
Automation: Terraform
Data & Messaging: PostgreSQL, Kafka, Redis, RabbitMQ
Observability: Prometheus, Grafana, VictoriaMetrics, OpenTelemetry, Cloud Logging
Security: Vault
