We are looking for an SRE Tech Lead to lead the transformation of our infrastructure from a reactive model to a systematic Platform Engineering approach. This role is for an engineer who is ready to take responsibility for the real-time availability of a high-load service with an audience of millions.

Technical Context and Challenges:

Scale: Serving 450+ million registered users and handling traffic where latency is critical (real-time video).

Expected stack and experience:

  • K8s Internals: A deep understanding of how everything works under the hood, not just deploying manifests.
  • IaC Mastery: Expertise in Terraform and Ansible (testing via Terratest/Molecule).
  • Automation: Proficiency in Go or Python for writing internal tools and automating safety gates.
  • Networking & Linux: Deep knowledge of TCP/IP, BGP, Load Balancing, and Linux internals.
  • Leadership: Team management experience (2+ years) and the ability to act as a technical “gatekeeper” for high-risk changes.

Responsibilities:

  • Transition from support to platform development (proactive platform engineering).
  • Architecting frameworks for incremental infrastructure releases with automated health checks.
  • Incident management and conducting blameless post-mortems to identify root causes.

Conditions:

  • Office in Warsaw (4 days a week, 1 remote).
  • Stock options grant (a company with roots in Silicon Valley).
  • Health insurance (100% coverage for the employee), lunches, and parking.
