Site Reliability Engineer II

About the company:

Alpen Cloud employs 620 people across engineering hubs in Berlin and three other locations, building ERP software for mid-market manufacturers.

The position:

Our services run on Kubernetes across two cloud regions. This hire will help us get better at capacity planning and failover. The Site Reliability Engineer II will define SLOs with product teams, improve alerting and help lead incidents when they happen. The company is based in Berlin, Germany. The team is spread across multiple countries. This is a full-time remote role. We use an employer of record in Mexico, so you get a proper employment contract, not a freelance agreement. Working hours overlap with Central European Time.

Duties:

• Review architecture proposals for reliability risks before launch
• Improve observability with Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Tempo or Datadog
• Tune Linux kernel, network and JVM settings when performance requires it
• Build and tune alerting so pages are actionable and rare
• Lead incident response as incident commander and run blameless postmortems

What we're looking for:

• 3+ years in SRE, production engineering or infrastructure roles
• Production experience with Kubernetes and a major cloud provider
• Clear writing for postmortems and runbooks
• Strong programming skills in Go, Python or Java
• Understanding of distributed systems: consensus, replication, partitioning, backpressure
• Working knowledge of TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP and load balancing

What we offer:

Pay: MXN 100,000 - MXN 125,000/month

• Company laptop
• 20 days paid time off
• Public holidays observed per your country
• Monthly internet allowance
• Flexible hours
• Paid sick days

We may close this posting early once we have enough applications.

Start: Immediately.
