Join a dynamic working environment with a cutting-edge distributed team based in Lausanne. Exoscale strives to create an environment with great working conditions and welcomes diverse applicants.

As part of its ongoing efforts to grow its infrastructure footprint Exoscale is hiring a Site Reliability Engineer.

The site reliability engineer plays a critical role in ensuring constant availability of the Exoscale platform. The engineering team at Exoscale works on all aspects from designing & developing products, to their operation and support.

With an expanding customer base and new products to further advance Exoscale's product portfolio, site reliability engineers build and maintain a wide range of technologies. As users of Exoscale itself, site reliability engineers also take active part in improving products.

This position focuses on designing, developing and maintaining Exoscale's core platform and security components.

Some of the challenges you will be working on:

• Enhance the developer experience (DX) by delivering self-service systems and pipelines.
  
• Play a key role in the architecture and design of Exoscale’s platform systems.
  
• Improve processes to ensure scalability, security, and high availability.
  
• Participate in code and change reviews to maintain high development standards.
  
• Join the on-call rotation after completing a training period.
  

Ideal candidates are:

• Experienced with Linux, including networking and security filtering.
  
• Knowledgeable in platform security components and PKI systems (experience with HashiCorp Vault is a plus).
  
• Proficient in Golang (mandatory for this position).
  
• Familiar with service discovery and DNS systems at scale.
  
• Experienced in containerization and orchestration (Kubernetes is a plus).
  
• Comfortable working with KVM virtualization.
  
• Skilled in configuration management and large-scale infrastructure.
  
• Passionate about automation. You look for ways to optimize workflows and reduce manual effort.
  
• Team players who thrive in a distributed team environment.
  
• Curious, autonomous, and eager to learn new technologies every day.
  
• Strong communicators in English, both written and spoken.
  

What we offer:

• Flexible working hours and working from home.
  
• Autonomous working conditions with a lot of freedom to create.
  
• Modern working atmosphere and centrally located office with great public transport connection
  
• Team events as well as training and further education.
