EMPOWER EVERY EMPLOYEE.
Our mission is to be the world's most used AI employee experience platform by changing the way frontline employees work.
Flip is the leading AI-powered employee experience platform for frontline workers. We're transforming how people do their jobs across the industries that keep the world running: retail, manufacturing, and logistics. One app. One touch. Everything they need.
Our mission: Connect every employee to everything they need in one touch.
JOB TEASER
As a Senior Site Reliability Engineer in our Platform Squad, you'll own critical reliability domains end-to-end and drive the technical direction within the squad - leading architectural decisions on our platform, mentoring teammates, and continuously raising the reliability bar inside the team.
This role is for an engineer with a proven track record of building and operating high-throughput, highly available systems, who wants senior-level technical ownership and real impact through deep engineering work inside a tight, well-scoped team.
WHAT AWAITS YOU WITH US
- Co-own the architecture: Help drive the architecture and evolution of our cloud infrastructure on Azure and our Kubernetes clusters - designed for high throughput and highest availability - to support Flip's rapid growth across the globe.
- Drive the resilience strategy: Define how we approach global scaling, zero-downtime deployments, rollback mechanisms and disaster recovery, and make sure the platform stays available around the clock.
- Evolve our observability stack: Improve our LGTM stack (Loki, Grafana, Tempo, Mimir) into a foundation our engineers can trust.
- Improve our IaC Platform: Eliminate toil at the source, and make our infrastructure truly self-service for engineering teams.
- Lead in incidents: Take a leading role in platform-related major incidents, drive blameless post-mortems for the squad, and translate findings into systemic improvements.
- Mentor within the squad: Coach teammates, run RFCs and design reviews inside the team, and help engineers grow into stronger SREs.
- Shape our roadmap: Partner with your squad to define the platform's direction.
WHAT YOU BRING TO THE TABLE
We're looking for a hands-on, SaaS-minded senior Site Reliability Engineer who treats scalability and reliability as a first-class product concern.
MUST-HAVE QUALIFICATIONS
- 5+ years of hands-on experience as a Site Reliability Engineer (SRE), Platform Engineer, DevOps Engineer, Infrastructure Engineer, Cloud Engineer, or Backend Engineer with a strong infrastructure focus.
- Proven track record building and operating high-throughput, highly available systems in production.
- Deep, production-level experience with Kubernetes on any Hyperscaler.
- Strong experience with modern observability stacks (e.g. Prometheus, Mimir, VictoriaMetrics, Dash0, Loki, ELK) and a clear point of view on SLIs, SLOs and error budgets.
- Solid software development skills in Go (strongly preferred, since our IaC runs on Pulumi in Go) or Python.
- Hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code (Pulumi, OpenTofu, Terraform) and GitOps (e.g. ArgoCD) + CI/CD pipeline design.
- Demonstrated ability to lead complex infrastructure initiatives from design to production - including writing RFCs and driving architecture decisions within your team.
- Experience mentoring engineers and raising the technical bar within a team.
- Comfortable owning major incidents end-to-end and turning learnings into systemic change.
- Strong communication skills and business-fluent English.
- Willingness to participate in on-call rotations to ensure the reliability of our platform.
NICE-TO-HAVE QUALIFICATIONS
- Rolled out production-ready API-Gateways with Gateway API (e.g. Envoy Gateway).
- Operated multi-cluster service meshes (e.g. Cilium, Linkerd, Istio)
- Deployed and maintained Kubernetes Operators (e.g. Strimzi, CNPG).
- Operated highly available PostgreSQL in production.
