Site Reliability Engineer I, Kubernetes

About us:

Steelworks Cloud is a 42-person software shop in São Paulo. The founders still answer support tickets. Everything runs on a single Rails app and one Postgres database, deployed on Heroku. On-call rotates weekly and pays a flat stipend whether or not the pager goes off.

About the role:

This role opened up because a team member is relocating. SRE role with a heavy software component. We expect you to write code that removes toil, not just run playbooks. Hybrid: two days in the office in São Paulo, the rest from home.

What you'll work on:

• Lead incident response as incident commander and run blameless postmortems
• Harden databases and caches with replication, backups and restore drills
• Reduce toil by measuring it and automating the worst offenders
• Build and tune alerting so pages are actionable and rare
• Define SLIs and SLOs with service owners and track error budgets
• Plan and run game days and chaos experiments

About you:

• Clear writing for postmortems and runbooks
• Production experience with Kubernetes and a major cloud provider
• Deep Linux knowledge, including systemd, networking and tools like strace and tcpdump
• Infrastructure as code with Terraform or similar

Pluses:

• CKA or CKS certification
• Running PostgreSQL, Cassandra, Kafka or Elasticsearch at scale

Compensation and benefits:

Rate: R$11,500 - R$14,000 per month

• Hybrid work
• Gym membership
• Private health insurance

Applications are reviewed weekly.

Start: Immediately.
