Site Reliability Engineer focused on cloud traffic infrastructure, observability, and resilience for high-scale microservices.
NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Site Reliability and Cloud Infrastructure Engineer with 6+ years operating large-scale, high-performance distributed systems. I specialize in API gateway traffic, IPC between microservices, and thundering herd problem mitigation—especially when live event load makes reliability non-negotiable.
I build confidence through load testing, fault injection, and resilience testing, then validate outcomes with end-to-end observability. I’ve implemented telemetry dashboards and alerting for latency, error rates, and throughput using Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, ELK/ELK-style stacks, and time series databases.
On the infrastructure side, I operate Kubernetes (EKS) with Helm, HPA, and canary rollouts, and I manage traffic handling with L4 load balancing, reverse proxies, TLS termination, DNS routing, and HTTP caching (Traefik/nginx with AWS ALB and Istio). I also automate provisioning and delivery using Terraform, CloudFormation, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, and GitOps workflows with ArgoCD, partnering closely with engineering, product, and operations.
