SRE Engineer

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a SRE Engineer based in Brazil.

As an SRE Engineer, you will play a key role in ensuring the reliability, scalability, performance, and resilience of critical digital environments.

You will work across cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, observability, automation, and incident management to keep systems stable and highly available.

The role combines proactive engineering with hands-on troubleshooting, helping teams identify risks before they become production issues.

You will establish and monitor reliability metrics such as SLIs, SLOs, SLAs, MTTR, and MTTD to continuously improve operational performance.

You’ll collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams to embed reliability practices throughout the software development lifecycle.

Automation and Infrastructure as Code will be central to reducing manual work and creating more efficient, consistent operations.

This is an opportunity to contribute to a culture of continuous improvement while working on modern, cloud-based and distributed technology environments.

Accountabilities:

• Define, monitor, and continuously improve reliability indicators, including SLIs, SLOs, SLAs, MTTR, MTTD, and error budgets.
• Implement and evolve observability, monitoring, alerting, and APM solutions across applications and infrastructure.
• Monitor latency, traffic, errors, saturation, availability, and overall system performance.
• Prevent, investigate, and resolve incidents, minimizing their impact on users and business operations.
• Conduct root cause analyses and define corrective and preventive actions to avoid recurring incidents.
• Identify operational risks, bottlenecks, single points of failure, and opportunities to strengthen system resilience.
• Support the design and evolution of highly available, scalable, resilient, and fault-tolerant solutions.
• Automate operational activities and reduce repetitive manual tasks through scripting, automation, and Infrastructure as Code.
• Operate and continuously improve Kubernetes and Docker environments.
• Support capacity planning, business continuity, disaster recovery, and cloud cost optimization initiatives.
• Participate in deployments and contribute to application stabilization following releases.
• Collaborate with engineering, development, infrastructure, and other technical teams to incorporate reliability from the earliest stages of solution design.
• Create and maintain operational dashboards, alerts, procedures, runbooks, and technical documentation.
• Promote a culture centered on reliability, observability, automation, prevention, and continuous improvement.

Requirements:

• Proven professional experience as a Site Reliability Engineer, SRE, or in an equivalent reliability/platform engineering role.
• Practical experience with cloud environments, using one or more of GCP, AWS, or Azure.
• Hands-on knowledge of Kubernetes and Docker.
• Experience implementing and managing observability, monitoring, alerting, and APM solutions.
• Strong understanding of SRE concepts and metrics, including SLI, SLO, SLA, MTTR, MTTD, and error budgets.
• Experience managing, investigating, troubleshooting, and resolving production incidents.
• Knowledge of application and infrastructure troubleshooting in complex environments.
• Experience administering Linux environments.
• Understanding of networking, security, performance, scalability, and high availability.
• Experience with automation and Infrastructure as Code practices.
• Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines and modern software delivery practices.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively across multidisciplinary teams.
• Analytical, proactive, collaborative, and prevention-oriented mindset.
• Experience with GKE, EKS, or AKS is a plus.
• Knowledge of Dynatrace, Datadog, Grafana, Prometheus, or comparable observability platforms is a plus.
• Experience with ELK Stack, Elasticsearch, and Kibana is desirable.
• Knowledge of Terraform and Ansible is desirable.
• Experience supporting critical systems and distributed architectures is an advantage.
• Experience in financial institutions or other regulated environments is a plus.
• Experience with cloud capacity management and cost optimization is desirable.
• Knowledge of disaster recovery and business continuity practices is beneficial.
• Cloud, Kubernetes, or SRE certifications are considered a plus.
