Sre Engineer

About the role

We are seeking a Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) to help establish and scale our client's Google Cloud Platform (GCP) SRE practice. This is a unique opportunity to join a team during its formative stage and play a key role in building the operational foundation, automation frameworks, and reliability processes that will support long-term cloud operations.

During the first 6 months, the primary focus will be on creating runbooks, defining operational standards, developing automation, and helping build the SRE function from the ground up. As the organization matures, the role will transition into a traditional SRE position focused on reliability engineering, automation, observability, scalability, and platform optimization. This role is ideal for engineers who enjoy building systems and processes from scratch and want to have a lasting impact on a growing cloud environment.

Responsibilities

• Create runbooks and define operational standards for GCP environments.
• Develop automation frameworks to improve operational efficiency.
• Build and scale the SRE function from the ground up.
• Transition into reliability engineering, focusing on automation, observability, scalability, and platform optimization.
• Solve reliability, scalability, and performance challenges in cloud-native architectures.
• Implement monitoring, observability, incident response, and reliability best practices.

Requirements

• Proven experience in a true SRE environment.
• Strong automation and software engineering experience, with hands-on development in Python and Java.
• Experience creating tools, scripts, and automated workflows to improve operational efficiency.
• Experience with Terraform (preferred, but training may be provided).
• Experience with at least one major cloud platform: Google Cloud Platform (GCP) preferred, but AWS or Microsoft Azure are also acceptable.
• Understanding of cloud-native architectures and operational best practices.
• Strong technical and engineering mindset with demonstrated experience solving reliability, scalability, and performance challenges.
• Experience building solutions and improving platforms rather than simply maintaining existing systems.
