Site Reliability Engineer (SRE)

As a Site Reliability Engineer (SRE), you will play a critical role at the intersection of software engineering and infrastructure operations. This position is ideal for engineers who are passionate about automation, systems design, and building scalable, reliable platforms.

In this role, you won’t be limited to just managing cloud infrastructure—you will take ownership of the platform's overall health, performance, and developer experience. Your work will span:

  • Cloud Infrastructure Management: Architect, implement, and maintain robust and secure infrastructure in a cloud-native environment using Terraform. Ensure high availability, scalability, and resilience of systems.
  • CI/CD and Deployment Automation: Design and improve continuous integration and continuous delivery pipelines that empower development teams to ship software reliably and rapidly.
  • Observability & Monitoring: Implement end-to-end observability tooling—including metrics, logging, distributed tracing, and alerting—to provide real-time insight into platform performance and help reduce mean time to detection and resolution.
  • Platform Quality & Reliability: Champion best practices for reliability, scalability, and performance across engineering teams.

You’ll collaborate closely with developers, security engineers, and product stakeholders to ensure systems meet both technical and business goals.


Responsibilities

  • Actively participate in improving and maintaining AWS infrastructure
  • Continuously improve system performance, reliability, and security
  • Design, implement, and maintain observability stack (metrics, logging, tracing, dashboards)

  • Improve developer productivity with tooling
  • Secure the systems and adhere to compliance standards
  • Be part of the team's on-call rotation

Requirements

  • 2+ years in SRE roles working with the AWS platform
  • 2+ years experience in a software development role
  • Hands-on experience with observability tools, preferably Datadog
  • Proficiency in Terraform
  • Proficiency in at least one scripting or programming language (Ruby/Rails, Python, Go, Shell Script, etc.)
  • Experience working with CI/CD tools such as GitHub Actions, Jenkins, CircleCI, etc.

Nice to Have

  • Strong communication skills for cross-functional collaboration
  • Knowledge of TCP/IP and other networking protocols
  • Experience with AWS Direct Connect

Benefits

  • Embrace remote work with optional office space for in-person collaboration
  • 10 days regular vacation, plus 5 days summer and 5 days winter vacation
  • Paid birthday holiday
  • Self-learning allowance to keep skills current
  • Language training for Japanese
