Senior SRE/DevOps Engineer

Tens of thousands of companies use Metabase every day to answer questions about their data. While we seek to become the de-facto self-managed open source analytics software for organizations everywhere, many customers want an ability to use Metabase without worrying about the operational details of self-hosting. That’s why we recently launched our Metabase Cloud product. We’re looking for operations engineers to help build out and run our new and quickly growing ‘Metabase Cloud’ hosted product.

You will:

• Own and operate our application stack and AWS infrastructure to orchestrate and manage our hosted customer instances of Metabase
• Debug runtime issues across the different levels of our application stack and hosting stack.
• Develop and build our internal tooling and automation to manage the lifecycle of a hosted Metabase installation, from purchase to deployment, zero-downtime upgrades, and general operational health
• Continuously improve our automated deployments and testing

We're looking for someone who:

• Is thoughtful and careful
• Compulsively automates everything and documents it
• Is able to make solid technical judgements and back them up articulately
• Has at least 5 years of experience building and operating production infrastructure, ideally on public cloud
• Strong Kubernetes and AWS experience
• Strong experience with IaC and Terraform
• Can write high quality and readable code in a modern language (e.g. Python, Go, etc.)
• Experience with modern monitoring stacks (e.g Prometheus/Grafana/Datadog)

Projects you could work on:

• Multi-region hosting
• Automate EKS cluster provisioning
• Extend our CRDs and Operators
• Improve the RDS sharding strategy for our multi-tenant platform
• Unify and improve our CI/CD platforms
• Collaborate with core application developers on changes to improve our application metrics, deployment speeds and CI integration.
• Maintain our SOC2 compliance and security posture
