Sr. Site Reliability Engineer

Do you love working with cloud infrastructure at scale? Optimizing the last bit of performance and efficiency out of applications that get hundreds of thousands of requests per second? Digging deep to determine the root cause of an outage? Building and maintaining infrastructure toolkits that hundreds of developers will use? Maintaining large distributed databases? 

Come work on the Site Reliability Engineering team at Vimeo! Your job will be to design, develop, deploy, maintain, and optimize the platform that powers an application that is part of the infrastructure of the Internet: Vimeo.  SRE at Vimeo spans the domains of platform engineering, database administration, release engineering, and internal tools.

What you’ll do:

• Build, secure, and evolve platforms which power the applications that make up Vimeo
• Build and maintain tooling which makes manual infrastructure work obsolete and enables self service for engineers
• Improve observability and reliability of applications to reduce outages to an absolute minimum, while reducing MTTA and MTTR
• Write and maintain thorough documentation to share with your teammates around the world, allowing them all to function as a cohesive unit
• Contribute to an internal self-service infrastructure platform used by all engineers for application development and deployment.
• Participate in a weekly on-call rotation shared between offices in the US and India, which includes responding to production incidents and providing internal support to other engineers at Vimeo
• Whatever it takes (within reason) to make Vimeo faster, simpler, more scalable, more reliable, and more efficient to operate

Skills and knowledge you should possess:

• At least six years of professional experience in software development with high proficiency in at least one general purpose programming language (C/C++, Go, Java, Ruby, PHP, Python, etc.)
• Deep understanding of the architectural patterns of high-scalability distributed systems
• Significant experience maintaining, optimizing, and administering Kubernetes deployments
• Strong knowledge of container orchestration and Linux system internals
• Significant experience with major cloud providers (Google Cloud, AWS)
• Significant experience with deploying and administration of MySQL
• Experience with “Infrastructure as Code” platforms such as Terraform
• Experience with observability systems, such as Datadog, Grafana, Prometheus, VictoriaMetrics, OpenCensus, and Graphite

Bonus points (nice skills to have, but not needed):

• Knowledge of ArgoCD, Atlantis, Varnish, Memcached, and/or Chef
• Experience with generalized build systems (make, bazel, please, etc.) or language-specific build systems (SWC, Turborepo, etc.).
