Skills

The ideal candidate for this position will have the following:

Comprehensive Tech Skills

• Along with coding and automation, it is a MUST to have strong skills in Operating Systems(Linux/Ubuntu/Debian), Networking, Virtualization and Containerization, and CI/CD pipeline tools(Git, Github).

• Strong knowledge of DBMS mainly but not limited to PostgreSQL is a MUST.

Cloud Mindset

• Proficient on the Cloud, specifically but not limited to Google Cloud Platform and Amazon Web Services. Most of our applications are served from the cloud, therefore it is important to understand how the cloud works including products like GCE/EC2, Cloud Run/EBS, Cloud Functions/Lambda, GKE/EKS, S3/GCS, PubSub/SQS etc

Automation Mastery

• To avoid the hustle of manual tasks, as an SRE, it is a MUST to have an automation mindset. The main automation tool we utilize is Ansible, therefore it is super important to have strong knowledge in writing/modifying and running playbooks written in Ansible.

Coding Proficiency

• We are hiring for a person who will come in to maintain systems written with a combination of tools/libraries and programming languages, so it is important to know at least one programming language in our stack and have at least knowledge of the structure of the other languages that we use.

• The backend stack is mainly written in Python(Django as the main framework, a background in any other python framework is okay) and Golang.

• Our APIs are implemented in mostly REST but newer apps utilize graphql. These APIs are usually deployed behind NGINX reverse proxies, with the exception of the Go services that may be exposed directly

Detective Skills

• We need someone who can detect, analyze, debug and follow up on issues end to end along with the effort to enhance the performance of our applications. As an SRE, they should be able to use either existing tools and techniques to debug and resolve issues and write up RCAs on them, which includes our monitoring stack plus Sentry and other monitoring tools.

Understand the full software stack – and go beyond

• It is important to understand the whole stack in terms of how our apps are developed, deployed and maintained in order to be faster in reproducing and debugging errors and doing the necessary steps in resolving them. Therefore they should not be limited in terms of their knowledge, not a must at the beginning to know everything but it is important to have the will to learn.

Are you the one we are looking for?

We are looking for motivated and independent thinking developers. The ideal candidate for us is a quick

learner, able to pick up the nuances of a complex domain fast. They are intellectually curious and have done many interesting things, even without being paid to do them.

We are open to candidates with “unconventional tech” backgrounds e.g non technical degrees, self-taught

developers etc. If you believe that you have serious and relevant skills (despite your unconventional

background), and can prove it, we’d like to hear from you. Your lack of work experience (or the converse) will not be a handicap if you can demonstrate possession of the skills we need, a winning attitude, and the

ability to learn fast.

Our culture is informal but fast-paced. We value rapid feedback, and speak freely, with team members’ input valued the same regardless of their rank. We expect anyone joining us to be comfortable with our pace and the frank style of communication.
