What you’ll do
The AdGear Site Reliability Engineer is a software engineer responsible for ensuring that the AdGear’s platform services are designed, implemented, deployed, and operated such that they are highly available, highly performing, and scalable.
A Site Reliability Engineer typically self-identifies as a "hacker" who uses his ability as a "jack of all trades" to bring to bear some deeper knowledge that’s closer to his interests.
The ideal candidate has deep knowledge and strong interest in software defined networking and routing, Linux system administration, and approaches it from the perspective of a software engineer. Challenges of globally distributed services, deciding what and when state should be shared, and simulating failure scenarios should drive you.
Relevant industry experience is important, but ultimately less so than your demonstrated abilities and attitude.
You will work with some incredibly talented and passionate developers within an engineering team with a strong technological background as well as working in a small team of SREs, supporting a medium-sized team of software engineers working on building the next generation of AdGear's administrative interfaces, ad decisioning, delivery, data processing and analytics systems.
In this position, the chosen candidate is expected to have a hands-on, problem-solving approach and a friendly human-facing side to communicate and manage expectations.
