• Understanding of SRE principles, including system reliability, incident response, disaster recovery, and blameless post-mortems.
• Strong English communication skills and the ability to collaborate with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Comfortable working autonomously, troubleshooting complex issues, and making pragmatic decisions in ambiguous environments.
• Willingness to participate in an on-call rotation after an appropriate training period and support occasional scheduled after-hours maintenance.

Nice to Have

• Experience with Snowflake, including database administration, permissions, and environment isolation.
• Familiarity with dbt, SQL, data pipelines, and data quality testing frameworks.
• Experience with GitOps and automated provisioning of development, staging, production, sandbox, and UAT environments.
• Knowledge of SLIs, SLOs, error budgets, and chaos engineering.
• Experience implementing security controls for SOC 2 Type 2 or similar compliance frameworks.
• Familiarity with Clojure or other programming languages beyond Python.
• Experience designing disaster recovery strategies and conducting recovery drills.

What You'll Do

• Design and maintain Terraform configurations for AWS and Snowflake infrastructure.
• Build automated infrastructure provisioning workflows using GitOps.
• Develop CI/CD pipelines that minimize manual intervention and enable reliable production deployments.
• Improve observability through monitoring, logging, alerting, dashboards, and service reliability metrics.
• Design disaster recovery plans and participate in regular recovery exercises.
• Collaborate with Data Engineering to migrate Snowflake pipelines to dbt and implement data quality checks.
• Lead infrastructure incident response, conduct blameless post-mortems, and drive continuous reliability improvements.
• Support security initiatives, IAM hardening, secrets management, and SOC 2 Type 2 compliance.
• Maintain clear infrastructure documentation, runbooks, and operational procedures.
