Job description

About Us

Founded in 2000, Akakçe is Turkey's leading price comparison platform, helping over 40 million users find the best deals every month. Our commitment to cutting-edge technology, data-driven insights, and continuous innovation makes us a key player in the e-commerce ecosystem.

About the Role

At Akakçe, we operate web and mobile platforms used by millions of users. The infrastructure underneath them is genuinely hybrid: physical servers and virtualization we own and run ourselves, Kubernetes and cloud services alongside them, and Linux and Windows workloads in the same estate. Someone has to keep all of it available, fast, and recoverable.

We are looking for a Site Reliability Engineer to own that. You will work in the System team, reporting to the Head of System, alongside Technical Support. Experience with our exact tooling is useful, but we care far more about how you reason about failure, what you do in the first ten minutes of an incident, and whether you make problems stop coming back.

This is not a role where you watch dashboards and file tickets. You own environments, you change them, and you are accountable for what happens when they break.

What You Will Do

• Own and operate the production, stage, test, and development environments.
• Manage infrastructure end to end, from physical servers, network, and storage through to virtual machines and cloud resources.
• Build and maintain infrastructure as code, and run deployments through GitOps practices.
• Own and improve CI/CD pipelines; automate build, test, deployment, rollback, and recovery.
• Own DNS, load balancer, firewall, and WAF configuration.
• Own database operations, including provisioning, performance tuning, backup, and restore.
• Monitor infrastructure, platform, and service metrics, and decide what deserves an alert.
• Respond to incidents, run the postmortem afterwards, and drive the changes that stop a repeat.
• Plan capacity, and organize and execute planned maintenance.
• Own disaster recovery and failover testing, and prove that restores actually work.
• Support developers when a pipeline, deployment, or environment issue blocks them.
• Document infrastructure changes - no undocumented change reaches production.
