Senior Site Reliability Engineer, Nylas

• You have 5 years of production engineering experience
• You value communication and empathy as much as technical prowess
• You can navigate a Linux command line
• You have experience automating systems using any modern configuration management system (Chef, Ansible, Puppet)
• You have experience deploying and managing services in Kubernetes
• You have experience running services on a cloud platform (AWS, GCP, Azure)
• You have experience deploying and managing Logging and Observability platforms such as New Relic, Grafana, Prometheus
• You have experience running services on a cloud platform (AWS, GCP, Azure)
• You can write reliable code in at least one programming language (Python, GoLang, JavaScript etc.), though this won’t be a focus of our interview process
• You’re excited to create a modern, scalable infrastructure and automate away drudgery

Desirable

• You'll help build and scale the infrastructure our platform runs on and the tools our developers need to get work done
• Our SRE team is responsible for the infrastructure layer of our API platform—the base operating system (including security), CI/CD & deployment tools, monitoring, and observability tools, and our horizontally sharded data storage layer which stores tens of terabytes of data
• Right now, our open-source Python sync engine regularly archives terabytes of data across a massive SQL cluster, and our Flask APIs handle tens of millions of requests a day. We aim to scale that several times over in the next year
• At Nylas, “DevOps” is a part of our engineering culture, not a role we’re looking to fill. Our development team shares the pager with operations and makes their own deploys. We’re always looking for ways in which we can have specialists who delight in really knowing different parts of systems but still avoid being siloed away
• We keep our code and infrastructure automation in the same repo, and you’ll be empowered to make application changes necessary for scaling and reliability in collaboration with our development team. Our stack includes Golang, Kubernetes, Python, MySQL, Redis, AWS, Debian GNU/Linux, GCP
