Your qualification

GSTP’s SRE function is creating a world-class operations environment and working towards running many services as 2nd-line support.

We believe in the Google mantra of SRE splitting their time between operations work and development work, though for now, there’s less operations and more development.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Developing high-quality CI, monitoring/alerting and automation tools
• Diving into projects to help them implement operational features
• Crafting standards on operational matters and rolling them out
• Consulting across the tribe on best practice

In future years, that will expand with:

• Supporting (as 2nd-line) a broad range systems (just those built to our standards)
• Providing incident analysis, error budget analysis

Our Site Reliability team ensures 24/7 coverage of our systems and as part of the team you`ll have to take part in the on-call shift schedule. Your focus will be the American market so occasionally you might be required to work out of standard working hours (for example during Sunday NFL, Super Bowl etc.)
