  • Production Operations & Reliability: Manage production bare-metal infrastructure across multiple regions. Build systems ensuring high availability, fault tolerance, and graceful degradation – establishing SLIs, SLOs, and monitoring to meet enterprise reliability commitments.
  • Observability & Incident Response: Build comprehensive monitoring, logging, and alerting using Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK stack. Lead incident response, conduct postmortems, and implement preventative measures to improve reliability and reduce MTTR.
  • Performance & Capacity Planning: Identify and resolve performance bottlenecks across infrastructure domains. Monitor utilization trends, forecast capacity needs, and optimize resource allocation for various workloads.

Requirements

  • Experience: 5+ years in SRE, DevOps, or infrastructure engineering roles with proven experience operating production infrastructure at scale.
  • Kubernetes Infrastructure Expertise: Deep hands-on experience building and operating production Kubernetes clusters on bare-metal infrastructure – not just deploying workloads in managed clusters.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience building custom Kubernetes operators or controllers for infrastructure orchestration
  • Deep familiarity with Kubernetes networking (Calico, Cilium, Multus), service mesh technologies, and network policy management
  • Experience with GPU workload orchestration including NVIDIA GPU Operator, MIG, time-slicing, and device plugins
  • Background with advanced Kubernetes features including custom schedulers, admission controllers, and API server extensions
  • Experience with Kubernetes cluster federation or multi-cluster management
