Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) - Ads / Monetization Platform

Role Summary

As a Site Reliability Engineer (SRE), you will build and operate highly available, globally distributed advertising/monetization services. You will improve reliability, scalability, and operability through automation, observability, incident management, and sound engineering practices.

Key Responsibilities

• Own reliability across the service lifecycle: design reviews, capacity planning, launch, deployment, operations, and continuous improvement.
• Build and operate highly available services across multiple regions/data centers; improve resilience, latency, and scalability.
• Develop automation and tooling to reduce toil (deployment, remediation, runbooks, self-healing) using scripting and software engineering best practices.
• Define and implement SLOs/SLIs/SLAs; create dashboards and alerting to track service health (availability, latency, errors, saturation).
• Lead sustainable incident response: triage, mitigation, root-cause analysis (RCA), and blameless postmortems with actionable follow-ups.
• Collaborate with software engineering, security, and compliance stakeholders to meet data governance and regulatory requirements.

• 3+ years of experience in SRE, DevOps, systems engineering, or production operations for large-scale services.
• Strong coding skills in one language: Python or Go or C++ (Java acceptable).
• Solid Linux/Unix fundamentals: processes, memory/CPU, filesystems, permissions, and troubleshooting.
• Networking fundamentals in cloud environments: TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP/HTTPS, load balancing, basic security concepts.
• SQL proficiency and experience with data workflows/ETL is a plus for ads/analytics-related systems.
• Strong communication, ownership mindset, and ability to work effectively across global teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting advertising, recommendation, or high-traffic consumer internet platforms.
• Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure) and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform/Ansible).
• Experience with containers and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
