Site Reliability Engineer Cloud Infrastructure (all genders)

Do stuff that matters- Become a part of gridX and contribute your own part to digitalise the energy industrywith us and thus make renewable energies accessible and affordable everywhere #getshitdone

At gridX we are building the digital brain for the energy transition. We are looking for an engineer who wants their code to have a tangible impact on a sustainable future.

As part of the SRE Cloud Infrastructure team you will join a culture defined by a single principle:Reliability First. However for us reliability isnt about fixing broken things or keeping the lights on manually. Its about enablement. We engineer the automated self-service solutions that empower our engineering teams to own their services from development to production.

You are a builder. An experienced autonomous engineer who is ready to evolve our systems engineer away complexity and champion a culture where reliability is built in by design.

• Take Ownership:You actively evolve our multi-tenant cloud and container infrastructure. You take end-to-end ownership of various components ensuring they are secure scalable observable and cost-efficient.

• Engineer Infrastructure as Software:You bring a developers mindset to operations. You solve complexity by writing high-quality code and automation ensuring our platform is managed strictly via declarative code.

• Drive Observability:You mature our observability platform ensuring we arent just collecting data but providing the insights teams need to drive architectural decisions improve performance and establish meaningful SLOs.

• Architect for Resilience:You proactively identify bottlenecks before they become incidents and when things do break you lead the resolution and drive post-mortems to ensure we learn.

• Empower Others:You build self-service capabilities that allow engineering teams to own their full lifecycle. You also drive the adoption of best practices through code or architecture reviews and technical deep-dives and share your expertise through high-quality documentation and operational runbooks.

• You have solid experience in an SRE or Platform role building and managing distributed systems in production environments. You are comfortable working with a high degree of autonomy navigating ambiguity and driving technical initiatives end-to-end.

• You have strong hands-on experience with a major public cloud provider. You understand the architectural foundations of cloud infrastructure (Compute Storage Networking and IAM) and are fluent in managing them as code.

• You apply a pragmatic software engineering mindset to operations. You write clean maintainable code and scripts prioritizing long-term stability and quality.

• You have operational experience with Kubernetes at scale understanding how to manage upgrades security and resource allocation in a production cluster.

• You embody a Reliability First mindset understanding incident lifecycle management and the importance of psychological safety in engineering.
  
  

• You have hands-on expertise in the AWS services we use heavily such as EKS EC2 VPC RDS Lambda S3 Kinesis DynamoDB SNS and SQS.

• You go beyond usage and understand the internal components of Kubernetes (scheduling API server controllers RBAC). Experience writing custom Controllers or Operators is a significantplus.

• You have strong skills in at least one modern programming language (e.g. Go Typescript Java Python Rust) have a willingness to work withGo which is our core language for tooling and automation and embrace AI-assisted workflows to accelerate development.

• You have expertise in modern observability stacks (e.g. Grafana LGTM Thanos VictoriaMetrics). You can operate and tune the platform at scale while guiding teams on effective instrumentation and alerting strategies.

• You have deep technical expertise in Release Engineering and GitOps as well as maintaining infrastructure that enable developers to release their software securely and reliably.

• You have deep knowledge of TCP/IP DNS and HTTP protocols and you understand the intricacies of container networking.
