Job Description

Insight Global is seeking a talented and passionate Mid-to-Senior Level Site Reliability Engineer to join our dynamic engineering team. You will play a critical role in ensuring the reliability, scalability, and performance of our mission-critical systems and applications running on Google Cloud Platform. You will leverage your deep understanding of SRE principles and GCP services, along with tools like Datadog, PagerDuty, ChaosSearch, and HashiCorp Terraform, to proactively identify and resolve potential issues, automate operational tasks, and continuously improve our infrastructure and deployment processes. As the newest member of the SRE team, you'll have the opportunity to work alongside high performers in a small, fast-paced environment, applying your existing expertise while learning new skills.

Responsibilities:

Design, implement, and manage scalable and highly available infrastructure on GCP, utilizing services such as Compute Engine, Kubernetes Engine (GKE), Cloud Storage, BigQuery, and Spanner.

Develop and maintain comprehensive monitoring, alerting, and logging solutions using Datadog and GCP Cloud Logging to provide deep visibility into system health and performance.

Utilize PagerDuty for effective incident management, ensuring timely response and resolution of critical issues.

Proactively identify potential bottlenecks and failure points through capacity planning and performance testing, leveraging ChaosSearch for log analysis.

Automate repetitive operational tasks using scripting languages (e.g., Python, Bash) and infrastructure-as-code tools, primarily HashiCorp Terraform, within the GCP ecosystem.

Participate in incident response, root cause analysis, and post-mortem reviews to drive continuous improvement and prevent future occurrences.

Collaborate closely with development teams to ensure that new services and features are designed, deployed, and operated with reliability and scalability in mind on GCP, including our Spanner database.

Define and maintain Service Level Objectives (SLOs) and Service Level Indicators (SLIs) to measure and track system reliability.

Contribute to the development and maintenance of CI/CD pipelines leveraging GCP services like Cloud Build and Artifact Registry.

Stay up-to-date with the latest GCP services and best practices, as well as advancements in Datadog, PagerDuty, ChaosSearch, and HashiCorp Terraform, and advocate for their adoption where appropriate.
