Zusammenfassung

Perplexity is seeking an experienced Site Reliability Engineer to own the production infrastructure at scale. You will run our Kubernetes fleet, design and operate the network, and ensure data durability across multiple services and databases.

You will manage infrastructure as code with Terraform and CI/CD, and drive incident response with blameless postmortems. You will work on capacity planning, error budgets, and cost optimization to keep services fast and reliable as demand grows.

• Code in Python, Go, or Rust for automation and tooling
• Observability fluency: Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana; turning metrics into SLOs/alerts
• Track record leading production incidents and durable fixes
• End-to-end ownership mindset: own problems with minimal handholding

Aufgaben

• Own production at scale: ensure availability, latency, and cost across products
• Run our Kubernetes fleet: manage EKS, tune autoscaling, DNS, and service networking
• Engineer the network: design VPCs, Transit Gateway, PrivateLink, DNS, egress
• Keep data durable and fast: manage storage and databases with tested backups
• Manage infrastructure as code: Terraform, CI/CD, reusable modules, safe rollbacks
• Prepare for failures: define SLOs, alerts, disaster-recovery drills
• Lead incident response: drive resolution, blameless postmortems, durable fixes
• Scale ahead of demand: capacity planning, reservations, cost efficiency
