GitLab - Site Reliability Engineer, Intermediate to Senior Staff — Infrastructure Platforms
Requirements
• Experience keeping production systems reliable, combining an operations mindset with real software engineering practice • Experience building net-new infrastructure tooling and automation, not just configuring existing tools. For example, Terraform modules, Kubernetes operators or controllers, or production automation and services written from scratch • The ability to read, debug, and reason about code. Most of our teams work in Go; some work in Ruby. You can discuss a piece of code's behavior, performance, and failure modes • Experience with infrastructure as code, and with Kubernetes and its ecosystem, at a depth appropriate to your level • Hands-on experience with at least one major cloud provider (GCP or AWS) • Familiarity with observability practices, including metrics, logging, alerting, and SLOs or SLIs, and using data to inform operational decisions • Comfort participating in on-call and incident response, with a structured approach to troubleshooting under pressure • Strong written communication and the ability to operate as a manager-of-one in an async, distributed environment • A track record of using automation, and increasingly AI, to reduce toil and improve how you and your team work • Alignment with GitLab's values and a commitment to working in accordance with them • Infrastructure Platforms is responsible for the availability, reliability, performance, and scalability of GitLab's user-facing services, most notably GitLab.com. The department spans sub-departments including Production Engineering and Dedicated, and the teams within them own everything from the production fleet and networking platform to observability, incident response, and our single-tenant Dedicated offering. We are a globally distributed, all-remote group that works asynchronously, favors automation over toil, and closes the loop with monitoring and metrics to drive accountability.
