Staff Site Reliability Engineer (Bare Metal Linux)

Location: 100% remote within the EU

OTE: up to €180k

Company

Builds a cloud platform for high-throughput, compute-heavy workloads on large-scale bare-metal infrastructure.

What you will do

• Own production reliability end to end and define SLIs, SLOs, and error-budget practices.
• Ship changes that reduce incidents and improve p95/p99 latency.
• Build automation to eliminate toil and improve deployment safety through canary releases and rollbacks.
• Improve observability and turn operational data into actionable signals.
• Debug and optimize Kubernetes internals, Linux performance, physical infrastructure, and networks.
• Participate in on-call operations while reducing the need for on-call through reliability improvements.

Requirements

• Production Engineering experience running on-premises or data-center infrastructure; public-cloud-only experience is not sufficient.
• Deep hands-on expertise in Linux systems debugging and performance, including CPU, memory, and I/O behavior.
• Strong networking knowledge covering DNS, TCP, TLS, latency, packet loss, congestion, and troubleshooting under load.
• Strong Kubernetes experience beyond manifests, including scheduler behavior, autoscaling edge cases, kubelet pressure and evictions, and etcd/control plane.
• Experience with Terraform, Docker, Helm, and modern CI/CD practices.
• Recent strong coding skills in Go and/or Python are required.
• Experience in low-latency environments.

Culture & Benefits

• 100% remote work within the EU.
• Work with bare-metal Linux infrastructure, physical fleets, data centers, real hardware constraints, and finite capacity.
• On-call is part of the role, with success measured by reducing its operational burden.
