- Debug & fix issues in Python apps (Flask, FastAPI), with occasional Lua for canary deployments.
- Set up automation, infra-as-code, CI/CD pipelines, and incident response.
- Optimize for cost, performance, and reliability across infra and applications.
- Work closely with backend engineers, product, and operations to keep our services running smoothly.
Need to have:
- 4+ years in SRE/DevOps with strong Python scripting & backend debugging skills.
- Hands-on with Kubernetes, Docker, and cloud infra (GCP & AWS).
- Experience with MongoDB, Elastic, monitoring tools (Prometheus, Grafana).
- Strong troubleshooting, debugging, and problem-solving skills.
- Ability to lead small teams and drive reliability culture.
Nice to have:
- Experience with Temporal, Redis, or serverless (Cloud Run, Lambda).
