Job Description
Site Reliability Engineer
Alpaca
• Operate production day-to-day - oncall, incident response, postmortems, and the follow-ups that actually close the loop. • Own reliability practice - define and refine SLIs/SLOs and error budgets, and help product teams live within them. • Strengthen our observability across metrics, logs, traces, and alerting. • Ship infrastructure through code in a GitOps workflow - cloud resources and Kubernetes workloads alike. • Look after PostgreSQL: performance tuning, schema and migration review, online migrations on large tables, HA/DR, and CDC pipelines. • Mentor engineers on reliability and database fundamentals through code review, design review, and pairing.
Job Requirements
- 4+ years in SRE, DevOps, Platform/Infrastructure, or backend engineering with significant production operations ownership.
- Hands-on experience operating production services on Kubernetes, and shipping infrastructure as code in a GitOps workflow.
- Solid working knowledge of PostgreSQL in production — query plans, pg_stat_*, indexing and schema trade-offs, and what a safe online migration looks like on a non-trivial table.
- Cloud networking fundamentals (VPCs, routing, L4/L7 load balancing, DNS, TLS) and comfort debugging cross-service connectivity.
- Comfortable with a modern observability stack and proficient with Linux at the operator level.
- Practiced in incident response - calm under pressure, structured debugging, postmortems that drive change.
- At least working proficiency in Go or Python, plus strong written and verbal communication.
- Genuine interest in databases and in growing your PostgreSQL/DBA expertise.
