About the role

We’re hiring two Senior SREs for a household-name product company. You’ll partner with an existing infra lead and multiple engineering squads to scale the platform, harden reliability, and accelerate automation across build/deploy.

What you’ll do

• Own and improve CI/CD pipelines and release workflows (Jenkins/GitHub Actions/GitLab/CircleCI).
• Operate and optimise Kubernetes estates (EKS; GKE exposure welcome), container build/run, Helm, and cluster ops.
• Deliver Infrastructure as Code with Terraform (modules, workspaces, policy as code).
• Champion reliability: observability, incident response, performance, cost efficiency, and security guardrails.
• Drive automation across environments and collaborate closely with multiple product teams.

What you’ll bring

• Strong experience in AWS (networking, IAM, ECR/EKS, CloudWatch, etc.).
• Deep hands-on with Kubernetes/K8s and container tooling (Docker).
• Solid Terraform skills and IaC best practices.
• Proven CI/CD delivery (pipelines, build/test/deploy, environment strategy).
• Senior, self-reliant communicator who mentors others and thrives in multi-team settings.

Nice to have

• Service mesh/observability (Istio/Prometheus/Grafana/Datadog), policy as code, scripting (Bash/Python/Go).
• Exposure to GKE and multi-cloud patterns.
