Senior DevOps/SRE Engineer

Sombra Top Employer

We are looking for a Senior DevOps/SRE Engineer to join an existing high‑performing platform team and enhance the reliability, scalability, and performance of a large AWS‑based ecosystem. This role focuses on Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD, Observability, and operational excellence while supporting upcoming platform changes/migrations. The position is senior‑level but does not include leadership or team‑management responsibilities.

 

Requirements:

Must‑Have:

  • Expert knowledge of AWS services and modern architecture patterns (Kinesis, DynamoDB, Lambda, SQS, SNS, RDS, ECS, EKS, etc.).
  • Advanced Infrastructure‑as‑Code experience using Terraform.
  • Strong CI/CD expertise (preferably GitHub Actions; others acceptable).
  • Solid Linux/Unix administration background.
  • Strong security, compliance, and access‑management understanding.
  • Observability & monitoring expertise—Grafana stack preferred (incident management, synthetic checks, performance dashboards).
  • Experience defining and tracking SLOs, SLIs, and Error Budgets.
  • Experience working in multi‑account AWS organizations.
  • Strong troubleshooting and problem‑solving skills.
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to work effectively in a collaborative environment.
  • Continuous learning mindset and ability to adapt to new tools and technologies.
  • At least Upper Intermediate English level.

 

Nice‑to‑Have:

  • Hands‑on programming (Go/Python/TypeScript) — not required, but beneficial.
  • Workload migration experience (e.g., EKS → ECS + Lambda).
  • AWS Professional‑level certifications.
  • Experience with multi‑cloud environments or cloud cost‑optimization strategies.
  • Background in performance & capacity engineering.

 

Responsibilities:

  • Design, maintain, and optimize AWS cloud infrastructure using Terraform and best‑practice IaC patterns.
  • Implement, operate, and evolve CI/CD pipelines for reliable and fast delivery.
  • Improve system reliability through SRE practices: SLOs, error budgets, incident reviews, and root‑cause analysis.
  • Drive observability: build dashboards, alerts, synthetic checks, and incident workflows using Grafana (and/or Datadog).
  • Support and collaborate on upcoming migrations (e.g., from EKS to ECS + Lambda).
  • Ensure security, compliance, and proper IAM governance across multi‑account environments.
  • Contribute to performance tuning, capacity planning, and cost awareness efforts.
  • Troubleshoot production issues, participate in incident processes, and reduce MTTR through automation.
  • Collaborate with engineers, product teams, and a Principal DevOps/SRE engineer to improve operational maturity.
  • Maintain documentation, share knowledge, and help raise engineering standards across the team.

 

What we offer:

  • Annual paid vacation of 18 working days.
  • Extra vacation days for long-lasting cooperation.
  • Annual paid sick leave of 10 days.
  • Maternity/Paternity leave.
  • The opportunity for sabbatical leave.
  • Marriage and Parenthood Package.
  • Compensation for sports activities or health insurance covering (up to 250$ per year) — after the trial period.
  • Career development plan.
  • English and Spanish classes.
  • Paying taxes and managing PE (Private Entrepreneur).
  • Technical equipment.
  • Internal Referral program.
  • Opportunity to take part in company volunteering activities.
  • Sombra is a “Friendly to Veterans” award-holder.
