Senior Site Reliability Engineer

Cribl is hiring a Senior Site Reliability Engineer to work on its telemetry platform, which IT and security teams at large enterprises use to manage and analyze observability data. This is a remote role within the United States, part of the engineering organization, and it comes with on-call or off-hours duties. It suits an engineer who wants to be involved from design through production and who has strong opinions about reliability, scaling, and high availability.

What you will do

• Work with teams to improve service delivery and reliability across the full lifecycle
• Measure and monitor production systems for availability, latency, and overall health
• Find the causes of errors and instability in production cloud services and push teams toward better operational practices
• Work with product and platform teams to change systems for better reliability, resilience, and observability
• Identify toil and reduce it through automation
• Take part in stand-by, on-call, or off-hours duties

The team says fixing things on the operational side should be a last resort, so SREs join from conception and design through development, production, and beyond. You would give input on cloud, scaling, reliability, and high availability.

What they are looking for

• Experience designing, implementing, and operating observability systems for complex cloud platforms, with knowledge of best practices
• Configuration management and infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform (preferred) or Ansible; cloud SDK experience is a plus
• Knowledge of cloud platforms, with AWS and Azure preferred, plus containers and orchestration
• Experience with APM and observability tools such as New Relic, Splunk, CloudWatch, Prometheus, Grafana/Kibana, or Sentry
• Experience with enterprise-scale continuous delivery environments
• Development with JavaScript, Node.js, or TypeScript in a Linux or Mac environment
• Experience with incident response in a blameless environment
• A background in Linux systems engineering
• Familiarity with incident response tools such as PagerDuty, FireHydrant, or Blameless
• Comfort working with a high level of autonomy on a distributed team
• Knowledge of cloud and application security practices
• Knowledge of cloud design patterns for scale, data management, and resiliency
• A focus on quality and testing
• Opinions about business metrics and SLOs
