Being a Site Reliability Engineer, you'll play a key role within our infrastructure team. Within this team you will be responsible for building secure, scalable, reusable infrastructure architecture. You will work on creating effective high-quality cloud based secure solutions to prevent our systems from failing and you will set up clear monitoring mechanisms for the times it does. To do so you’ll be working with Docker, Amazon Web Services, Kubernetes, Terraform and Python. Throughout your work you’ll remain self-critical, use a sound rationale and follow our existing procedures. On occasion some creativity may be needed too though. On a day-to-day basis you will spend a lot of time coding and building infrastructure process automations. You’re constantly on the lookout to find solutions to further improve our infrastructure and prevent future outages. Throughout your day you will work very closely with the team of Site Reliability Engineers and effectively communicate with them when needed. Visa sponsorship and a relocation stipe in to be received together with your first paycheck (if you are from outside The Netherlands).
Next to this you will go on-call for one week every month for which you will of course be compensated!
