Senior Site Reliability Engineer (Linux & Virtualization Platform)

Discussion

Summary

The Senior Site Reliability Engineer will own the virtualized host platform, ensuring reliability, performance, and scalability of the compute infrastructure by working on Linux internals, KVM/QEMU virtualization, and building automation with Python and shell scripts.

We are looking for a deeply technical Senior Site Reliability Engineer to become a core member of our Virtualized Host Platform (VHP) team. Your mission will be to ensure the absolute reliability, performance, and scalability of the foundational compute platform that powers our global services.

This is not a typical cloud SRE role. This is for engineers who are passionate about Linux internals, virtualization, and the complex interplay between software and hardware. You will be the ultimate owner of the host environment, using your expertise to automate, debug, and build one of the most resilient platforms on the planet.

Who We're Looking For (Your Profile):

  • You possess an expert-level understanding of Linux internals and system administration. You are comfortable navigating the complexities of the Linux kernel, drivers, and the underlying hardware they run on.
  • You have deep, practical experience with virtualization technologies, particularly KVM/QEMU.
  • You are a skilled diagnostician, able to systematically debug complex issues and determine if the root cause is in the physical test environment, hardware firmware, BIOS/UEFI, a kernel driver, or a user-space application.
  • You are a proficient software developer, with strong skills in Python and shell scripting, capable of independently building automation frameworks and operational tools.
  • You have significant experience in a Senior SRE or Development role, preferably working on large-scale, distributed systems where reliability is paramount.
  • You are experienced with modern infrastructure-as-code and configuration management tools like SaltStack, Ansible, Chef, or Puppet.
  • You have excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset, with a proven ability to work effectively across different engineering teams.
