Junior+ Site Reliability Engineer

Role Overview:

Our client is expanding the engineering team responsible for ensuring the stability and predictable behaviour of their distributed services and platforms. This role involves hands-on production work, including monitoring, incident response, troubleshooting, and continuous improvements that increase platform reliability over time.

You will work as part of an SRE shift rotation covering late-evening and night hours, ensuring end-to-end ownership of incidents — from identifying user impact to post-incident follow-ups and preventive improvements.

Key Responsibilities:

— Working in shift-based operations: monitoring, alert response, incident handling, escalation when needed;

— Participating in incident handling: initial classification, technical investigation, coordination with engineering teams, and following-up improvements;

— Developing and refining observability across platforms (metrics/alerts, dashboards, logs);

— Reducing operational toil: small automation, runbooks, and repeatable processes (the “make it easier next time” mindset);

— Collaborating with development teams to improve production readiness (basic reliability practices, cleaner incident follow-ups).

Ideal profile for the position:

Core skills:

— Good Linux skills in production environments (debugging basics, system services, logs, performance basics);

— Solid understanding of networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP, load balancing basics, TLS fundamentals);

— Experience with containers and image lifecycle basics (Docker or compatible runtimes);

— Ability to troubleshoot across application, network, and infrastructure layers using logs/metrics and simple tools (curl, basic traffic/log analysis; scripting is a plus);

— Basic familiarity with observability: metrics and alerting, dashboards, logging (any modern stack is fine).

Experience:

— 1+ year in a production-focused role (Ops / Support L2+ / DevOps / Junior SRE — what matters is real production exposure);

— Participation in production incidents (triage, investigation, escalation, basic follow-ups);

— Availability to cover late-evening and night shifts, in rotation.

SRE fundamentals (basic understanding):

— You understand the difference between “just running infra” and SRE as a discipline: reliability targets, fast detection, clear escalation, and consistent follow-up;

— You’re familiar with SLI/SLO and can explain them in simple words (high-level understanding is enough).

What will be an advantage:

— Familiarity with Kubernetes (deep production ownership is not required yet);

— Exposure to AWS services such as EC2, ALB/NLB, RDS, S3, and IAM basics;

— Exposure to Terraform and/or Ansible (small changes, basic understanding of principles);

— Experience working in high-availability environments where downtime actually matters.
