Senior SRE/DevOps Engineer

Overview

Senior SRE/DevOps role on Verve's Systems Engineering team, keeping a high-throughput, real-time ad-serving platform fast and available on GCP and Kubernetes (GKE), treating reliability as a software problem.

What you'll do

• Define, measure, and uphold SLOs and error budgets for critical services, and use them to guide engineering priorities
• Design and operate highly available, fault-tolerant infrastructure on GCP and Kubernetes for high-throughput, latency-sensitive workloads
• Build observability across metrics, logs, tracing, and alerting that surfaces real user impact and cuts noise
• Lead incident response, run blameless postmortems, and drive the fixes that stop problems from recurring
• Reduce toil by writing tools, services, and automation (in Go, Python, or similar) that replace manual operational work
• Own capacity planning, performance tuning, and cost efficiency as traffic grows
• Partner with product, backend, and data teams on production readiness, resilient architecture, and safe release practices (progressive rollouts, automated rollback)
• Participate in on-call and continuously improve its sustainability

What you'll need

• Hands-on experience keeping large-scale, cloud-native production systems reliable
• Strong experience with Google Cloud Platform and Kubernetes (GKE) in production, including how they behave under load and how they fail
• Practical experience with SLIs, SLOs, error budgets, and incident management
• Solid software development skills in Go / Python / Rust, or similar, with good coding practices (testing, code review, maintainability) and a track record of shipping tools or services others depend on
• Infrastructure-as-code experience with Terraform and cloud APIs
• Experience with observability tooling such as Grafana, VictoriaLogs, and PagerDuty
• Experience with CI/CD and GitOps tooling such as Argo CD and GitHub Actions
• Experience operating databases in production
• Good understanding of networking, event messaging, and distributed systems failure modes
• Strong troubleshooting skills across the stack, from Linux and networking up to application behavior
• Full business proficiency in English
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience
