Job Teaser As a Senior Site Reliability Engineer in our Platform Squad, you'll own critical reliability domains end-to-end and drive the technical direction within the squad - leading architectural decisions on our platform, mentoring teammates, and continuously raising the reliability bar inside the team. This role is for an engineer with a proven track record of building and operating high-throughput, highly available systems, who wants senior-level technical ownership and real impact through deep engineering work inside a tight, well-scoped team. What awaits you with us

• Co-own the architecture: Help drive the architecture and evolution of our cloud infrastructure on Azure and our Kubernetes clusters - designed for high throughput and highest availability - to support Flip's rapid growth across the globe.
• Drive the resilience strategy: Define how we approach global scaling, zero-downtime deployments, rollback mechanisms and disaster recovery, and make sure the platform stays available around the clock.
• Evolve our observability stack: Improve our LGTM stack (Loki, Grafana, Tempo, Mimir) into a foundation our engineers can trust.
• Improve our IaC Platform: Eliminate toil at the source, and make our infrastructure truly self-service for engineering teams.
• Lead in incidents: Take a leading role in platform-related major incidents, drive blameless post-mortems for the squad, and translate findings into systemic improvements.
• Mentor within the squad: Coach teammates, run RFCs and design reviews inside the team, and help engineers grow into stronger SREs.
• Shape our roadmap: Partner with your squad to define the platform's direction.

• Strong experience with modern observability stacks (e.g. Prometheus, Mimir, VictoriaMetrics, Dash0, Loki, ELK) and a clear point of view on SLIs, SLOs and error budgets.

• Hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code (Pulumi, OpenTofu, Terraform) and GitOps (e.g. ArgoCD) + CI/CD pipeline design.
• Demonstrated ability to lead complex infrastructure initiatives from design to production - including writing RFCs and driving architecture decisions within your team.
• Experience mentoring engineers and raising the technical bar within a team.
• Comfortable owning major incidents end-to-end and turning learnings into systemic change.
