Actors are built by a global creator community that now earns more than $1.2 million every month.\nJoin us to help people put the web to work. Apify can find missing children, protect consumers from fake discounts across the EU, and feed data to AI chatbots.\nTo support our mission, we're looking for a Platform Reliability Engineer with a developer's mindset. You've shipped code and you care what happens when it runs in production (speed, failures, recovery). You'll help us strengthen the way Apify monitors systems, handles incidents, and routes alerts, so engineering teams can ship with confidence. You won't be on-call. This role is focused on sustainable improvement, not after-hours emergency response.\nWhat you'll be working on:\nMonitoring & signals: Operate and improve our monitoring stack (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry) - instrument services to expose the right metrics, define what we watch in production, and shape alerting so teams get actionable signals without the noise.\n\nWhen things go wrong: Help define how we run incidents - clear communication, structured learning afterward, and supporting artifacts (status page, runbooks).\n\nWith the team: Work with platform and product engineers to make reliability standards practical - help teams adopt better tooling or practices when things change, and write documentation people actually use.\n\nWho we're looking for:\nYou have hands-on experience choosing what to measure in production - not just reading dashboards, but picking signals that reflect the customer experience.\n\nYou're comfortable with incidents and alerts, from early detection through resolution and follow-up so similar issues are less likely to recur.\n\nYou have hands-on experience with Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, or similar, and with alert-routing tools such as PagerDuty.\n\nYou read and write code: you can follow services and pipelines across the stack and collaborate on technical details with the teams building them.\n\nYou know what good post-incident culture looks like in practice - blame-free, learning-focused, and actually used to make things better - even if your past title never mentioned reliability.\n\nYou can write clear, concise guidance that teams adopt, and you work constructively toward sound decisions.\n\nYou're driven to automate repetitive tasks and improve developer workflows.\n\nNice to have:\nMeaningful hands-on experience as an application or backend developer - you've built things that run in production and approach observability as someone who needs it as a \"user,\" not just the person who sets it up.\n\nExperience building and maintaining infrastructure on AWS (EC2, EKS, S3, CloudFormation, or similar), and hands-on experience with container technologies.\n\nSome familiarity with CI/CD pipelines or release practices - enough to have an informed opinion on what makes deployments reliable and safe.\n\nDon't worry if you don't meet all of the above criteria. We value diverse skills and experience and would love to hear from you.\nOur tech stack\nInfra: AWS Compute (Kubernetes (EKS), EC2, Lambda), Helm, ArgoCD, MongoDB, Redis, DynamoDB, S3, GitHub Actions\n\nMonitoring: Grafana, Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, Mezmo, PagerDuty\n\nFrontend: React.js, styled-components, Storybook, Chromatic, Cypress, Playwright\n\nBackend: TypeScript/Node.js, Nest.js, Next.js, Express.js, Docusaurus, Vitest\n\nTools: GitHub, Notion, Google Workspace\n\nEditor and AI assistant of your choice (GH Copilot, Cursor, Claude, Gemini, or JetBrains AI)\n\nProcess: two-week sprints, code reviews, tests, automating whatever we can, and deploying multiple times per day.\n\nBy the end of the first 3 months, we expect you to:\nHave completed the general onboarding process.\n\nHave built working relationships with platform engineers, engineering leads, and others involved in production response, and aligned on how you'll collaborate.\n\nUnderstand, in principle, how the Apify platform works, and be able to handle smaller problems, incidents, or bugs on the infrastructure you work with most.\n\nHave mapped how we handle monitoring, incidents, and alerts today - where the friction is and where a focused improvement would help.\n\nHave published initial monitoring, observability, and alerting guidelines - covering signals, naming, key dashboards, and alerting principles (severity, routing, and noise reduction) - aligned with existing tooling.\n\nBe participating in incident reviews and translating patterns into improved playbooks.\n\nBe contributing actively in team ceremonies (planning, grooming) and technical discussions, and in touch with other teams to support their infrastructure needs.\n\nBy the end of the first 6 months, we expect you to:\nBe working on bigger tasks mostly independently (while staying fearless about asking for help).\n\nHave built a network across engineering, stay in touch with other teams on infrastructure initiatives, and gather feedback to find ways to help them in their daily work.\n\nHave teams referencing your guidance when planning higher-risk changes, with measurably less alert noise and duplicate paging.\n\nHave incident documentation (communication, roles, lessons learned) that's easy to find and actually used during real incidents.\n\nOwn the monitoring and alerting improvement roadmap end-to-end.\n\nHave agreed with leadership on priorities for monitoring and alerting - tooling, training, and the metrics that actually matter.\n\nWhy should you work at Apify?\nSpace, support, and autonomy for personal growth, with a direct impact on Apify's success\n\nFull-time position in our amazing offices in Prague (100Yards) or Brno (Titanium)\n\nFlexible working hours (perfect for both night owls and early birds )\n\nNobody counts holidays as long as the work gets done\n\nUnlimited Claude for every Apifier. We don't count tokens. Just use them well\n\nStock options and profit sharing\n\nFree Apify credits for your friends and family to try the platform\n\nWe welcome pets, kids, and bikes at the office\n\nEpic team buildings and offsites with biking, canoeing, and other adventures\n\nSolid education and training budget, conference tickets, internal “Eat & Learn” sessions, and the possibility to work across teams\n\nGenerous hardware budget\n\nFree lunches every day when you're in the office\n\nUnlimited supply of & and snacks\n\nFree entry to the wonderful Prague Zoo\n\nFree Multisport card\n\nRegular massages in the Prague office, mostly covered by Apify\n\nPing-pong, chess, PS5, foosball league after lunch.\n\nFor more details about Apify and what it's like to work with us, see our Careers page.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6722,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Flexible schedule","Stock options"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Czech Republic","iso":"CZ","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Web Scraping & Proxy Networks"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-06-29T15:09:31Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-10-09T13:14:10Z"},{"event":"reopen","at":"2026-10-14T16:30:27Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":43,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.722,"p_room":0.6,"age_days":109,"expected_fill_days":146,"reasons":["conf:2","win:late","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/apify-technologies-s-r-o-platform-reliability-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/apify-technologies-s-r-o-platform-reliability-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-17T07:46:16Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":10520,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-18T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":6237},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=6237"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fapify-technologies-s-r-o-platform-reliability-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fapify-technologies-s-r-o-platform-reliability-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fapify-technologies-s-r-o-platform-reliability-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/apify-technologies-s-r-o-platform-reliability-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fapify-technologies-s-r-o-platform-reliability-engineer"}]}
