Varo’s SRE team is well established, designing, building, and running large-scale, distributed, fault-tolerant systems that power most of Varo's operations. We live and breathe AWS and Kubernetes, having an open source first and result oriented mindset.
We are an automation and observability focused team and we strive to use tooling and automation to provide value to our customers. We empower service teams so they can monitor and create dashboards to promote a data-driven approach to scale out our platform.
On a typical day, members of our team are hands-on in scaling-out production infrastructure, increasing performance and reliability, and collaborating with other teams to improve our internal developer platform. We collectively strive to build and maintain a rapid-feedback platform that enables our engineers to accomplish their own goals instead of creating friction.
What you'll be doing
Take ownership of the availability and resiliency of Varo's cloud-based infrastructure; design and maintain disaster recovery scenarios; design self-healing and resiliency patternsWrite and maintain infrastructure as code for core systems (terraform, terraform modules and kubernetes helm charts); build and maintain new platform systems; architect new solutions; build repeatable processes; implement declarative infrastructureImprove observability and monitoring across Varo's infrastructure by implementing advanced tools and technologies. Create and maintain monitoring dashboards, alerts, and log systems to quickly identify and resolve issuesHelp implement advanced observability tools like distributed tracing and anomaly detection for deeper system insights and efficient troubleshootingHelp lead high-profile incidents and facilitate blameless post-mortemsCollaborate with development teams to implement and improve SLIs and SLOs for their services and to promote service ownership. Use monitoring data to drive actionable insights and contribute to incident response strategiesAutomate operational tasks to save time and improve accuracyWrite clean and scalable code, software and systems to manage platform infrastructure and applications.You'll bring the following required skills and experiences
9+ years as a Site Reliability, Platform, or Software Engineer6+ years of proficiency in one or more high-level languages (such as Python, GoLang, Ruby, Java, or JavaScript) requiredExcellent Linux and troubleshooting skills Experience in building and supporting high-availability cloud environments in AWSExperience using Infrastructure as code (IaC) and deployment automation with tools such as Terraform, Helm, Gitlab or equivalentExperience running Kubernetes in production is a must. Istio experience is a plusExperience required with monitoring, logging and tracing tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, Jaeger/Tempo, ELK/Loki, OpenTelemetry, Opensearch, and CloudwatchExperience instrumenting code (Java/Kotlin, Python, Go, etc.) and creating simple instrumentation frameworks for developers to adopt where auto instrumentation may fall shortParticipate in an on-call rotation for after-hours production infrastructure incidentsExperience with SDLC and related toolingMessage Queue/Streams and Database (RDS) experience is a plus#MidSenior
