SPD-Ukraine is looking for a Site Reliability Engineer to join our team.

You will utilize your strong background in deploying, managing, and maintaining production systems, working with developers to operate and monitor large-scale services with complex distributed systems and data integrations. You will incorporate observability tools (monitoring, tracing, alerting), perform incident management, conduct root cause analyses, eliminate single points of failure, build reliability and redundancy into our infrastructure, establish and test our recoverability, mitigate failures, and do all of these things through automation and tools.

As a senior SRE, you will take independent responsibility for building and managing large subsets of our systems. You will help build our best practices for infrastructure-as-code and your code will exemplify our quality controls. You will mentor and train other SREs, platform engineers, and software engineers in reliability topics.

Your ability to collaborate with colleagues, exhibit poise and adaptability in stressful situations, communicate effectively, and build resilient systems that can be consistently relied upon will be critical to your success. You will solicit feedback, learn constantly, engage others with empathy, and help create a culture of belonging, teamwork, and purpose.
