About this role
Senior Site Reliability Engineer role focused on building and operating a cloud platform using AWS with Kubernetes (EKS/AKS). The position is a long-term contract (2+ years) with 100% remote work across the continental US.
Key Responsibilities
- Use Kubernetes for container orchestration and management (EKS/AKS)
- Implement monitoring, logging, and alerting for performance and availability
- Develop resilient and highly available components for payment systems
- Design cloud-native microservices using domain-driven design
- Use Terraform to deliver Infrastructure as Code and evaluate new tools
Technical Overview
You will design microservices-based architectures using domain-driven design, run workloads on Kubernetes in AWS (EKS) and Azure (AKS), and implement monitoring, logging, and alerting for high availability and scalability. Terraform is heavily used for Infrastructure as Code, alongside security best practices for containers and clusters, with additional expectations for payment system standards and load balancing concepts.
Ideal Candidate
The ideal candidate is a senior Site Reliability Engineer with 6+ years building cloud-native architectures and strong Kubernetes experience specifically with EKS and AKS in AWS environments. They are expert in Terraform and Infrastructure as Code, have solid container and cluster security knowledge, and can implement resilient, highly available microservices with strong monitoring, logging, and alerting.
