Keep Systems Running. Keep Users Happy.

We’re looking for two skilled Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) to join our infrastructure team. This is a hands-on operational role focused on managing Linux systems and key third-party platforms like Kafka, Redis, and Kubernetes. You’ll work behind the scenes to ensure infrastructure components are running smoothly—without owning the application layer.

What You'll Be Doing

• Administer, configure, and maintain Linux servers (RHEL, CentOS)
• Install, upgrade, and troubleshoot platforms such as Kafka, Redis, and Kubernetes
• Collaborate with engineering and operations teams to support systems in data center and hybrid environments
• Write basic automation scripts to streamline daily operations
• Participate in a shared on-call rotation to respond to critical incidents

Our Tech Environment

• OS: Linux (RHEL, CentOS – but open to other distros)
• Platforms: Kafka, Redis, Kubernetes
• Monitoring & Logging: Combination of in-house and third-party tools
• Scripting: Bash, Python (basic)
• IaC: Experience with tools like Ansible or Puppet is a plus

What We’re Looking For

• Strong background in Linux system administration
• Experience managing infrastructure-level services (not application development)
• Ability to diagnose and resolve system-level issues efficiently
• Basic scripting skills for task automation
• Exposure to Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools is preferred but not mandatory

Ideal Candidates

• Experienced SREs or systems engineers who thrive in infrastructure-heavy environments
• Problem-solvers who enjoy keeping critical systems up and running
• Team players who can clearly document and share operational procedures
