What the job involves
- Foundation Engineering at Fastly is looking for a Site Reliability Engineer to join our Cloud and Container Services team. This role is focused on helping to scale and manage Fastly’s Kubernetes based platform for control plane services
- This platform is built on top of multiple public cloud services and contains many Kubernetes ecosystem components. We’re working to scale out our platform to support growth and at the same time evolve to address new business priorities
- A successful candidate will help expand our platform feature set, support existing users and onboard new services, and drive efficiency while maintaining a secure platform
- Design, build and operate infrastructure (cloud, Fastly datacenter) to enable reliable and rapid deployment, effective monitoring, and resilient operation in a large-scale Linux environment. The majority workloads are containerized but some are using native cloud services such as compute and storage
- Diagnose and resolve performance and reliability issues across the stack: application, operating system, network, 3rd party services and APIs, including cross-application dependencies
- Deploy and support complex 3rd party and internally developed applications
- Write tools to automate maintenance and deployment of servers, services, and applications
- Collaborate with internal users and continually evolve the platform and its operations using solid engineering practices
- Drive projects sometimes independently and sometimes collaboratively across time zones
- Configure access and manage operations within a multi-cloud environment
