### We are looking for a Site Reliability Engineer with focus monitoring\n\nYou will be a key member of a tight-knit group of talented Engineers who are responsible for keeping ours and our customer’s Kubernetes clusters operational and healthy. You’ll also have a key role in the development of the product itself, working together with our Platform Engineers to deliver the greatest Kubernetes service possible.\n\nGiant Swarm is a fast-growing open-source infrastructure management platform used by modern enterprises. Our vision is to empower developers around the world to ship great products. We are a diverse, fully remote (since 2014) and experienced team that is growing and spread across Europe - with a headquarters in Cologne.\n\n**Your Job**\n\n* You maintain, operate and upgrade our own and our customer’s Kubernetes clusters.\n* You will design, configure, build, and maintain our core infrastructure, from kernel parameters to the cloud provider templates.\n* You understand how servers and systems work and you tweak their behaviour to your needs.\n* You will be responsible for our monitoring, logging and alerting.\n* You will help resolve incidents on our own and our customer’s clusters.\n* You participate in the on-call support schedule\n* You are a go-to person in case our developers need advice regarding infrastructure.\n* You will automate everything, and you prefer kubernetes controllers and operators over Terraform and Ansible.\n* We (and the majority of our customers) are currently mostly distributed around Europe (around UTC), thus, your main time zone should be somewhere between +/-2UTC to ensure better communication.\n\n**Requirements**\n\n* You must have deep, hands-on knowledge of Kubernetes from both the end-user and the operational side.\n* You’re comfortable debugging systems at all levels, from kernel fundamentals right up to workloads running on Kubernetes.\n* You’re happy troubleshooting a wide variety of issues and you’re not afraid to parse thousands of lines of logs in pursuit of an answer.\n* You have good coding skills (preferably Go, but Python or similar is fine as well)\n* You have experience with maintaining infrastructure with code and you know the pros and cons of various automation tools (We use Terraform & Ansible but Chef, Puppet and the lot is also a good start).\n* You have experience with Prometheus, Grafana and Alertmanager, you understand what SLO and SLI means and how to make use of them.\n* You are fluent with Cloud Native Tools running on top of Kubernetes (prometheus, grafana, ingress controller, …) you know how to use them and how to configure them.\n* You automate all the things by writing code. Using bash scripts makes you sad :)\n\n### Why work at Giant Swarm\n\nEvery new team member changes the team. \n\nWe love to learn from each other and people who know things we don’t are highly welcome. And even though we are almost 70 people we aim at putting the individual first when taking decisions, establishing processes, etc. You’ll find that from day one, your work will make a difference and will be highly valued. There are no meaningless tasks and you’ll soon realize that the company is full of people who are passionate about their jobs. Our strong culture of failure helps us stay up to date and try new things.\n\nEven though we’ve been fully remote since 2014, we still like to meet in person twice a year at our onsites (make sure you check out our Instagram ;) ) as well as at conferences and events (as soon as they start again). \n\nContinuous learning is important to us - we foster this through bi-yearly personal development talks, a budget for training/certifications/coaching as well as regular feedback talks. \n\nBecoming part of Giant Swarm means that, by extension, you also become part of the Cloud Native community. We actively contribute to upstream projects and our quarterly hackathons will give you space to work on out-of-the box projects. Occasionally, when we, as a team, want to fully focus on one project, we scratch all meetings and routines for a certain time to better focus during our hive-sprints.\n\n**Basics:**\n\n* We don't count holiday (our team members take between 25-35 days off on average)\n* Choose your own hard- and software\n* As a company who has almost, if not more, kids than employees, family-friendliness is crucial to us and paid parental leave is a no-brainer.\n* Healthcare compensation\n* Fixed monthly budget for buying cat pictures or your mobile phone contract/ co-working space if you are boring ;)\n* We aim to be fully transparent (finance, salaries, communication, etc.)\n\n\nWe failed in exactly describing our way to approach important company elements that can be described with ‘buzzwords’ such as agile mindset, cross functional teams, self-organization, value of the individual or trust & teamwork. However, we truly care about them, we live them and we constantly iterate on them. Some snippets about how we do this are posted in our blog but by far not all of them. \n\nPro tipp: Ask whenever something is unclear! \n\nSee more jobs at [Giant Swarm](https://www.giantswarm.io/careers) \n\nPlease mention the words **CLUSTER TYPICAL LIAR** when applying to show you read the job post completely (#RMy4xNDYuMTc2LjE5).

**All roles with Chainlink Labs are globally remote based. We encourage you to apply regardless of your location.**\n\nThe infrastructure team enables Chainlink development and maintains services that support the health of the most widely-adopted oracle network in the world. As a Site Reliability Engineer, you will help us solve some of the unique challenges of blockchain oracle architecture and be primarily responsible for the Chainlink ecosystem's off-chain part.\n\nWe are distributed across time zones and continents, and we embrace remote work. In the Infrastructure team, we follow the infrastructure-as-code approach and practice GitOps. Our on-call rotation uses the follow-the-sun pattern: you will be on call some of the time, but there should not be any overnight shifts.\n\nWe all have different backgrounds and are determined to help you succeed no matter where you are or who you are. If you think you would do a great job at Chainlink, we are looking forward to speaking with you, even if you don't match 100% of the job requirements: those describe people we've usually had a great time working with, but they're not a tick-box exercise. \n\n**Your Impact**\n\n* Support monitoring services that watch over the entire Chainlink network. \n* Deploy and maintain various externally-facing services like reference Chainlink nodes used by developers and customers (including critical services such as Chainlink VRF).\n* Improve the reliability and observability of our internal infrastructure. \n* Provide our engineers with a reliable release pipeline and empower them to release and deploy Chainlink and adjacent tools extremely quickly.\n\n**Requirements**\n\n* 5+ years of relevant professional experience. You have a software engineering background or an operations background and have worked as an SRE (or in a very close position) before.\n* Experience with system architecture. You can create a design document for a cross-region load-balancing app with five microservices, a PostgreSQL cluster, a caching layer, and a Kafka queue—and then implement it on AWS.\n* Experience with CI/CD pipelines. You can troubleshoot an existing pipeline or build your own, and you've probably worked on both software delivery and cloud-based services deployment.\n* Experience with distributed systems and container orchestration. You have built or maintained complex Kubernetes clusters before.\n* Ability to read and write code. You can understand precisely why a recent code change led to degraded performance; you can write scripts and tools to automate routine tasks and eliminate toil.\n* Strong communication skills. You can give and receive constructive feedback, and you do not shy away from planning meetings and code reviews.\n\n**Preferred Qualifications**\n* Professional experience with Golang, TypeScript, or both. \n* Excitement for blockchain, Web 3.0, and similar decentralized technologies. \n* Experience running blockchain full node operator is a big plus. \n* Experience with Chainlink as a developer or a node operator is a big plus.\n* Comfort working with network protocols, proxies, and load balancers.\n* Experience with information security and DevSecOps.\n* Experience working remotely in a distributed team.\n* We are giving slight preference to candidates who live in the UTC to UTC+8 range due to our on-call schedule for this particular opening.\n\n**Our Stack**\n\nSome of the tools and services we use daily or almost daily are:\n\nAWS; Terraform/Terragrunt; Kubernetes, Calico and ArgoCD; Prometheus and Grafana; GitHub Actions; Packer\n\nWe expect you to be comfortable with most of those tools and very proficient in several of them.\n\n**About Us**\n\nChainlink is the industry standard oracle network for connecting smart contracts to the real world. With Chainlink, developers can build hybrid smart contracts that combine on-chain code with an extensive collection of secure off-chain services powered by Decentralized Oracle Networks. Managed by a global, decentralized community of hundreds of thousands of people, Chainlink is introducing a fairer model for contracts. Its network currently secures billions of dollars in value for smart contracts across the decentralized finance (DeFi), insurance, and gaming ecosystems, among others. The full vision of the Chainlink Network can be found in the [Chainlink 2.0 whitepaper](https://research.chain.link/whitepaper-v2.pdf). Chainlink is trusted by hundreds of organizations—from global enterprises to projects at the forefront of the blockchain economy—to deliver definitive truth via secure, reliable data. \n\nThis role is location agnostic anywhere in the world, but we ask that you overlap some working hours with Eastern Standard Time (EST).\n\nWe are a fully distributed team and have the tools and benefits to support you in your remote work environment.\n\nChainlink Labs is an Equal Opportunity Employer.\n \n\nPlease mention the words **FROG CROWD ANGLE** when applying to show you read the job post completely (#RMy4xNDYuMTc2LjE5).
