Your Role
As
Site Reliability Engineer (all genders)
you will join a deeply technical squad of around 6 engineers responsible for the
reliable operation and infrastructure
behind the Intelligent Grid Platform (IGP). The platform runs across 100+ customer instances on Kubernetes, spanning Azure, Open Telekom Cloud, and on-premise environments.
You design, build, and maintain the platform foundation: cluster provisioning, deployment pipelines, observability, secrets management, and infrastructure-as-code. You partner closely with the new
Operations team
that will run IGP day to day for customers, providing them with the tooling, monitoring, and automation they need to operate confidently.
You work in a squad together with other SREs, reporting to the Engineering Manager.
How You Make an Impact
You maintain Kubernetes clusters across multiple clouds and on-premise environments, ensuring they are reliable, secure, and cost-effective
You develop and maintain infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, SaltStack) to manage 100+ customer instances with layered configuration
You design and maintain observability (monitoring, alerting, SLOs) so that production issues surface early and are resolved quickly
You own and evolve secrets management, certificate automation, and security tooling across the platform
You reduce operational toil through automation, better tooling, and solid runbooks
You participate in incident response, root cause analysis, and drive follow-ups so the same issues do not reoccur
You collaborate with development squads and the Operations team to improve the overall reliability of the IGP
