- You bring proven experience designing and operating Kubernetes infrastructure, including implementing robust security models (RBAC, least privilege, namespace isolation, etc.) and best practices in secrets management
- You command a strong command of CI/CD design and automation, with hands-on experience in tools enabling safe and frequent deployments. Scripting skills in Bash, Python, or Go to support automation and tooling are a strong plus
- You are experienced in architecting and operating monitoring and observability systems (Grafana, Prometheus, Loki) with a focus on proactive detection (alerting on symptoms, not outages)
- You boast a history of improving deployment frequency, reliability, and team velocity through automation, tooling, and process improvements
- You exhibit leadership experience in incident response, including coordinating cross-team efforts, running postmortems, and implementing systemic fixes
- You hold operational experience with databases, including provisioning, backup strategies, performance tuning, and disaster recovery
- You demonstrate a strong grasp of build-vs-buy decisions and experience evaluating and integrating third-party infrastructure tooling effectively
- You maintain a track record of mentoring engineers, leading initiatives across teams, and elevating infrastructure standards org-wide
- You collaborate with engineers to identify pain points, building tools, and improving developer experience through infrastructure
- You showcase excellent communication skills, with the ability to articulate technical trade-offs and architectural decisions clearly to both engineers and leadership
- You embrace a forward-looking mindset with experience or interest in leveraging AI tools to boost engineering productivity, automate repetitive tasks and enhance platform tooling and developer enablement
- (Nice to have) Familiarity with Spring Boot applications and the operational considerations that come with running Java-based applications in production
What the job involves
- We are looking for a strong Senior Site Reliability Engineer to join our team and help us scale and streamline our infrastructure, deployment pipelines and reliability practices
- You’ll work at the intersection of software engineering and operations, helping us build robust, automated systems that enable fast, safe and frequent releases
- You plan for infrastructure growth, ensuring our systems are ready to meet the demands of a growing customer base and an expanding engineering team
- You own and evolve our cloud infrastructure (GCP) to ensure high availability, scalability, and cost-efficiency
- You design, build, and maintain core infrastructure, including Terraform, CI/CD pipelines, and Kubernetes
- You streamline and improve the release process, reducing manual steps and enabling faster, safer, and more frequent deployments
- You automate operational workflows (monitoring, alerting, scaling) and reduce toil by turning manual actions into automation
- You monitor and continuously improve system performance, reliability, and scalability, using metrics and data to guide decisions
- You are part of an on-call rotation, responding to incidents that impact Resourcify’s availability and supporting engineers during customer-impacting incidents
- You use your on-call experience to drive meaningful improvements, preventing incidents, hardening systems, and improving incident response playbooks
- You conduct and lead blameless postmortems, identify root causes, and implement long-term fixes that improve system health
