Senior Site Reliability Engineer

Platform & Infrastructure

• Design, build, and operate scalable multi-cloud and hybrid infrastructure using Terraform, Pulumi, and GitOps workflows (ArgoCD, Flux).
• Own Kubernetes platforms (EKS, GKE) end-to-end cluster lifecycle, multi-tenancy, networking (Istio, Cilium), and autoscaling.
• Push progressive delivery patterns (blue/green, canary) across game service deployments.

Observability & Reliability

• Build and run the full observability stack: Prometheus + Grafana + Datadog.
• Define SLI/SLO/error budget policies and build alerting that cuts through the noise.
• Lead chaos engineering exercises to surface failure modes before players encounter them.
• Drive incident response and post-mortems with a focus on systemic fixes and real follow-through.

Automation, Security & Developer Experience

• Eliminate toil through self-service provisioning, automated remediation, and intelligent scaling.
• Harden CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, ArgoCD).
• Embed security at the platform layer through secrets management (PasswordState, 1Password, and AWS Secrets Manager) and policy-as-code (OPA/Gatekeeper).

Leadership

• Promote SRE practices across 2K studios through reliability reviews, runbooks, and embedded collaboration.
• Shape architectural decisions and author engineering RFCs that move the platform forward.

Required Qualifications

• Experience: 5+ years in SRE, Platform Engineering, or equivalent infrastructure work at production scale.
• Kubernetes: Deep experience in cloud environments (EKS or GKE preferred), including networking, storage, and multi-cluster patterns.
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Strong proficiency with Terraform and/or Pulumi; hands-on with Helm, Terragrunt, and GitOps tooling (ArgoCD or GitHub Actions).
• Environments: Experience with modern and legacy tech, including AWS, GCP, VMware, and Bare metal servers.
• Configuration Management: Server configuration using Ansible, Puppet, and AWS Systems Manager.
• Observability: Experience with Datadog, Prometheus + Grafana, and OpenTelemetry; fluency in operationalizing SLI/SLO/error budgets inside engineering teams.
• Software Engineering: Production-quality code in Go, Python, or TypeScript for tools, automation, and internal libraries.
• Systems & Networking: Solid understanding of Linux internals, TCP/IP networking, DNS, and TLS proven enough to debug at the system level.
• Incident Management: Incident response and post-mortem leadership with a track record of systemic follow-through.

Preferred Qualifications

• Live-service game or large-scale consumer internet experience dealing with millions of concurrent users.
• Deep knowledge of Service mesh (Istio, Cilium) and advanced Kubernetes networking.
• Experience with FinOps and managing resources efficiently at cloud scale.
• Experience with AI and Agentic Development.
• Cloud certifications (AWS Solutions Architect, GCP Professional Cloud Architect, CKA/CKS, or equivalent).
• Experience mentoring SREs or leading reliability working groups.
