SRE Engineer

GuangZhou, China

We’re looking for a passionate Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) to join our infrastructure team. You must be a systems thinker, problem-solver, and automation advocate with a proven track record of building resilient, scalable systems. If you thrive in bridging development and operations, obsess over monitoring/metrics, and geek out on turning manual processes into self-healing systems – we want you.

What you’ll be spending your time on:

  • Design, build, and maintain highly available, scalable distributed systems.
  • Deploy, maintain, and optimize Kubernetes platforms.
  • Deploy and maintain distributed storage solutions such as GlusterFS and Ceph.
  • Manage Jenkins CI/CD pipelines (deployment, maintenance, and usage).
  • Execute daily system deployment and production releases.
  • Maintain hardware servers and related infrastructure.
  • Monitor system health in real-time using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, etc., and implement alerting mechanisms.
  • Develop automation tools and scripts (Python/Go/Shell) to reduce manual operations and improve efficiency.
  • Analyze capacity requirements and develop scaling strategies to balance cost and performance.
  • Identify performance bottlenecks and optimize service response times, throughput, and resource utilization.
  • Perform regular data center and system inspections.
  • Create and maintain technical and operational documentation.
  • Research and integrate new tools and technologies.
  • Complete other tasks assigned by leadership.

For this role, you have:

  • Familiarity with SRE methodologies (e.g., SLI/SLO/Error Budget) and strong troubleshooting/optimization skills.
  • Proficient in container technologies (e.g., Docker).
  • Expertise in Kubernetes, with full lifecycle experience (implementation, maintenance, optimization).
  • Skilled in deploying and maintaining storage components like GlusterFS and Ceph.
  • Experience with monitoring and logging systems (e.g., Zabbix, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Datadog).
  • Strong logical thinking and problem-solving abilities.
  • Highly responsible, proactive, and committed to operational excellence.
  • Self-motivated with strong self-learning, analytical, and execution skills.
  • Excellent communication and teamwork capabilities.
  • Excellent verbal and written skills in English
