Site Reliability Engineer

Quick Facts

• Role: Site Reliability Engineer

• Start: ASAP

• Duration: 6 months (possible extension)

• Location: On-site in Stockholm

Description

You will work closely with engineering teams to understand how software behaves in production and to improve reliability, performance, and observability of distributed systems. This is a hands-on role where you investigate incidents and performance issues, write code, build tooling and tests, and implement changes through to production.

Responsibilities

• Investigate failures and performance issues across services, databases, queues, and third-party dependencies; implement improvements with engineering teams

• Improve observability using metrics, logging, and distributed tracing

• Build dashboards and meaningful alerting based on service objectives while reducing alert noise and improving incident response

• Develop load, stress, and recovery tests to validate resilience under real-world conditions

• Automate operational processes; improve tooling and runbooks to reduce manual work and increase reliability

• Participate in incident management, root cause analysis, and preventive follow-up

• Collaborate with CI/CD and platform teams to improve release quality, deployment confidence, and rollback strategies

• Measure and evaluate the impact of reliability improvements using operational metrics

Requirements

• Experience building, operating, or improving production systems and services

• Strong software engineering skills; experience writing maintainable, well-tested code

• Experience with observability platforms (metrics, logs, distributed tracing)

• Understanding of distributed systems and common failure scenarios (retries, timeouts, concurrency issues, resource bottlenecks)

• Ability to troubleshoot complex technical challenges across multiple systems and stakeholders

• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate during incidents and problem-solving

• Pragmatic mindset to prioritize improvements that create real operational value

Benefits

• Hands-on engineering role across investigation, implementation, and production operations
