- Experience with Terraform infrastructure as code
- Experience with configuration management tools such as Ansible and Chef
- Experience with the Kubernetes ecosystem, including Helm
- Programming skills and professional experience in Ruby or Go
- Understanding of network protocols (TCP/IP, HTTP/HTTPS, DNS)
- Familiarity with network observability tools and traffic analysis
- Comfortable with scripting languages (Ruby, Go, Bash) for automation
- Experience with GitLab CI or equivalent
- Ability to clearly define problems and think beyond initial solutions, looking at how to make things better in the future
- A drive for automating everything
- Ability to be a manager of one and have a strong bias for action
- An independent, proactive, and self-organized mindset
- Strong ability to clearly communicate asynchronously
- Excitement to be doing something different every day from project work to production change requests to emergency response
What the job involves
- GitLab is a complete DevOps platform, delivered as a single application
- From project planning and source code management to CI/CD, monitoring, and security, we help teams deliver software faster and more efficiently while strengthening their security and compliance postures
- As an Intermediate Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) at GitLab, you are responsible for keeping all user-facing services and other GitLab production systems running smoothly
- SREs are a blend of pragmatic operators and software craftspeople that apply sound engineering principles, operational discipline, and mature automation to our operating environments and the GitLab codebase
- GitLab SREs specialize in systems (operating systems, storage subsystems, networking), while implementing best practices for availability, reliability and scalability, with varied interests in algorithms and distributed systems
- Design and implement a highly scalable networking infrastructure to support the needs of current and future GitLab platforms and offerings
- Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams and other teams throughout Infrastructure-Platforms on projects to drive GitLab’s future
- Respond to incidents on an on-call rotation (our team is distributed globally, so you are only on call during your daytime hours!) and participate in incident review
- Lead initiatives through problem definition, scoping, design, and project management
- Act as subject matter experts within the GitLab Infrastructure-Platforms department, specializing in knowledge of our networking and rate limiting services
- Automate every operational task
- The Production Engineering Foundations team owns the networking infrastructure for GitLab from edge to ingress
- Running the largest GitLab instance in existence (and in fact, one of the largest single-tenancy open-source SaaS sites on the Internet) means we are constantly faced with unique and rewarding challenges that directly impact our users every day
- Our future is all about increasing automation and enabling other teams by building paved roads for things like rate limiting and edge networks, so we can continue to scale even bigger with enterprise-level expectations around reliability and availability
Our take
GitLab is an open-source collaboration platform for developers. It enables teams to build code quickly from anywhere without compromising on security or quality. GitLab already has an estimated 30M+ users from all over the world.
According to a 2021 GitLab report, 60% of developers can release code 2x faster with DevOps platforms that bring teams together and accelerate processes. It stands out by catering to programmers of all experiences. Gitlab's version control system helps streamline the process of creating, maintaining, and deploying code, whoever you are.
GitLab was in the right place to capitalize on the recent trend toward rapid digital transformation and remote working. This trend is expected to continue to grow, and with it, GitLab's popularity. With its successful 2021 IPO and the patronage of major brands such as Nasdaq and Jaguar Land Rover, GitLab is expected to solidify its position as the go-to platform for development teams.
