About InfraCents

InfraCents is a software engineering company. We design and build software products, run the cloud platforms they live on, build AI systems and data pipelines, and keep all of it secure, reliable and cost-efficient in production. Our engineers work directly with clients, own outcomes end to end and are trusted with real production systems. We value clear thinking, honest communication and work that still holds up a year after it ships.

Role Overview

The Site Reliability Engineer will keep client production systems available, fast and resilient. You will define service level objectives, build observability, automate away toil, take part in incident response and lead blameless post-incident reviews.

We are looking for an engineer who combines software skills with operations instincts, and who measures reliability rather than guessing at it.

Key Responsibilities: Reliability Engineering

• Define SLIs, SLOs and error budgets with product and engineering teams.
• Identify reliability risks through architecture reviews, capacity planning and load testing.
• Automate toil and build self-healing mechanisms.

Key Responsibilities: Observability

• Build metrics, logs and traces using OpenTelemetry and modern observability tooling.
• Design actionable, low-noise alerts tied to user impact.
• Create dashboards that show service health at a glance.

Key Responsibilities: Incident Management

• Participate in on-call rotations and respond to production incidents.
• Lead blameless post-incident reviews and drive follow-up actions to completion.
• Write and maintain runbooks for common failure scenarios.

Key Responsibilities: Resilience

• Run chaos experiments and disaster recovery drills.
• Improve deployment safety with progressive delivery and automated rollbacks.

Who We're Looking For

• Experience: 1-3 years in SRE, DevOps or backend engineering supporting production systems.
• Production experience: Has been on call and helped resolve real incidents.
• Software skills: Writes clean automation and tooling in Python or Go.
• Data-driven: Uses metrics and SLOs to prioritise reliability work.
• Calm under pressure: Communicates clearly during incidents.

Technical Expertise Required

• Observability: Prometheus, Grafana, Loki / Tempo, OpenTelemetry, Datadog, New Relic
• Incident Response: PagerDuty / Opsgenie, Incident management & RCA writing, Status pages
• Platforms: Kubernetes, Docker, AWS / Azure / GCP, Terraform
• Reliability Testing: k6 / JMeter, LitmusChaos / Chaos Mesh
• Databases & Messaging: PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka, Elasticsearch
• Automation: Python, Go, Bash, Linux, Networking & DNS

Nice to Have

• Experience with progressive delivery tools such as Argo Rollouts or Flagger.
• Experience with database reliability: replication, backups and failover.
• CKA or a cloud professional-level certification.

Qualifications

• Experience: 1-3 years in SRE, DevOps or production-focused software engineering.
• Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
