Senior Site Reliability Engineer
Description
What we’re looking for
What you provide
- Desire to learn and adapt. Our agile team has a lot of projects going on at once, and you'll have the opportunity to learn to navigate the code and features. You'll constantly be learning new areas and new technologies.
- Passion. Our customers are passionate about Splunk, and we want the same from our engineers. We want you to actively own your work and be excited about your projects.
- Ability to work with multiple programming languages. We have code in several languages, including Go, Python, C++, Ruby/Puppet DSL, and Shell.
- Linux proficiency. We’re on a mission to continuously optimize our platform and offerings. We run on linux, and want to squeeze everything we can out of it. You have experience with tuning kernel defaults, get excited about things like eBPF, and love to experiment with new technologies to see what they can do.
- Drive for automation. You constantly consider, "How can I automate this manual process?" You will use Terraform to manage various cloud infrastructure resources. An understanding of Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) and declarative configuration languages as preferred.
- Knowledge of technical excellence. You know continuous delivery, automated testing, security methodologies, system performance, and disaster recovery concepts.
- Cloud experience. Building and scaling secure infrastructure on different cloud providers is a plus. You will use AWS Azure, and GCP.
- Operational excellence. Data excites you and you make decisions based on numbers rather than assumptions. If an issue arises, you strive to be alerted before our customers notice and produce as much self-healing automation as possible.
- Experience. 8 or more years of related technical work in industry.
- Though not required, it is also awesome if you have experience in containerization such as Docker and Kubernetes, have built scalable secure services on cloud providers such as AWS, and have some Splunk expertise.
What we provide
- Opportunities to develop and grow as an engineer. We are always expanding into new areas, working with open-source projects and contributing back, and exploring new technologies.
- A team of incredibly capable and dedicated peers, all the way from engineering to product management and customer support.
- Growth and mentorship. We believe in growing engineers through ownership and leadership opportunities. We also believe that mentors help both sides of the equation.
- A stable, collaborative, and supportive work environment. We work in an open environment, work together to get things done, and adapt to the changing needs for the team.
