What you will do

• Own application-level infrastructure for the Monetization domain, including Helm charts, Terraform configurations, Kubernetes deployments, runtime configuration, and service networking/integrations.
• Own domain observability by designing and implementing SLOs/SLIs, monitors, alerts, and dashboards using Datadog and OpenTelemetry-based tooling.
• Set up and evolve CI/CD pipelines for domain services (GitLab CI, GitHub Actions), including deploy and rollback automation.
• Perform capacity planning and performance tuning ahead of launches, sales events, and regional rollouts, including load testing and performance regression investigation.
• Run Production Readiness Reviews for new services and major changes; define and enforce what “production-ready” means for the domain.
• Support incident response with deep investigation, post-mortems, follow-up reliability improvements, and runbook maintenance; participate in SRE duty rotation.

Requirements

• 3+ years of SRE, DevOps, or platform engineering experience, including on-call/incident response, SLO/monitoring ownership, and production deploy pipeline/infrastructure work.
• Software development background: built and shipped backend services; comfortable reading application code during investigations and writing production-quality automation (e.g., Go, PHP).
• Hands-on Kubernetes experience (Helm, manifests, deploy strategies, debugging application-level performance and networking) on GKE or comparable managed Kubernetes.
• Strong observability practice: build monitors, dashboards, and SLOs/SLIs on modern tooling (Datadog preferred) and familiarity with OpenTelemetry.
• Infrastructure as Code exposure (Terraform/Terragrunt) and GCP experience (IAM, networking, managed services).
