Role Description

We're looking for a Senior Site Reliability Engineer who's passionate about building reliable, scalable infrastructure that helps developers ship better software faster. You'll design and maintain our Kubernetes-based multi-cloud platform, improve our monitoring and observability tools, and collaborate with product and engineering teams to solve real problems in real time. This is a role where you'll own the systems that power Camunda, drive automation that raises the bar for everyone, and mentor others who want to do the same. If you thrive on building things that work well and don't break when they shouldn't, we'd love to talk.

• Ship features and improvements with product teams – Work cross-functionally with product engineering, product management, and support to define and deliver impactful features.
• Push automation to the next level – Identify repetitive work and automate it away, sharing knowledge with teammates to improve overall craft.
• Be the expert others learn from – Help less experienced engineers tackle complex infrastructure challenges and support their skill growth.

• Strong 3rd-level support and incident response skills – Responded to production incidents and communicated clearly under pressure.
• A passion for automation and raising the quality bar – Care deeply about building reliable, maintainable systems.
• Responsible use of AI tools – Leverage AI for various tasks while ensuring confidentiality and accountability.

Requirements

• Experience with major cloud providers – Worked with AWS (EKS), Google Cloud Platform (GKE), or similar managed Kubernetes services.
• ArgoCD or GitOps workflows – Used declarative, Git-driven infrastructure management.
• Proficiency in Python, Go, or similar languages – Write scripts and automation tools.
