Job summary

Tyk Cloud is our managed API platform, operating across regions and clouds. We are seeking an SRE who can improve and automate the platform, handle incidents on call, and collaborate with product teams. You’ll spend time building across Kubernetes, AWS, and Go tooling, supporting SOC 2 security work and improving observability.

You’ll join a small, centralized SRE team, with flexible remote work and a strong culture of autonomy. Three-to-four months shadowing precedes on-call duties.

Qualifications

• 3+ years in SRE, platform or infrastructure roles across multiple companies.
• Experience owning on-call and leading incidents yourself.
• Hands-on experience running production Kubernetes at scale, ideally EKS: operating, upgrading and debugging multi-tenant clusters.
• Experience designing and operating infrastructure on AWS, with Terraform or similar.
• Ability to write, test and ship Go tooling or services.
• Experience with Prometheus and Grafana, and with logging systems.
• Solid Linux and networking fundamentals (DNS, TCP/IP, HTTP, TLS, load balancing).
• Clear communication across time zones and teams.

Responsibilities

• Deliver the team's planned work each quarter, such as optimising the platform, building self-serve tooling for other teams, and rearchitecting parts of the platform as it grows.
• Help expand Tyk Cloud across regions and clouds, and reduce running costs.
• Automate operations in Go, including building and maintaining custom Kubernetes operators.
• Run the platform's services and databases (MongoDB, Redis).
• Improve observability with metrics, dashboards and alerts.
• Keep runbooks and documentation current; support security work (SOC 2 audits).
• On-call: be first line for alerts and incidents; lead post-incident reviews.
• Act as second line for Customer Success requests; handle ad hoc cross-team requests.
