About the role

Senior SRE focused on observability and analytics within Elastic's Platform Infra. Owns end-to-end delivery of moderately to highly complex projects, operates and hardens Elastic Cloud infrastructure as code, participates in 24/7 on-call, reviews code, mentors engineers, and improves runbooks and processes.

Responsibilities

  • Owning end-to-end delivery of moderate-to-high complexity projects on the team’s roadmap, with minimal day-to-day direction.
  • Operating and hardening shared Elastic Cloud infrastructure (ECH, ECE, and ECK) as Infrastructure as Code – writing and reviewing the Terraform, Python, and Go that other engineers depend on.
  • Carrying a 24/7 on-call rotation: responding to incidents, driving them to resolution, and writing clear RCAs/postmortems that lead to lasting fixes rather than repeat pages.
  • Reviewing others’ code and designs, and being a trusted second set of eyes on production changes to critical infrastructure.
  • Mentoring less experienced engineers, and proactively raising risks, ideas, and improvements in team discussions.
  • Improving runbooks, documentation, and operational processes so the on-call load gets lighter over time.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of SRE, platform engineering, or infrastructure engineering experience
  • Proficiency with Terraform; comfortable owning large, multi-workspace configurations in a team setting
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals in Python; comfort with Go is a plus
  • Deep Linux systems knowledge and experience operating containerized workloads in production
  • Experience carrying a 24/7 on-call rotation, resolving incidents under pressure, and writing RCAs that hold up under review
  • A track record of consistently delivering end-to-end projects of moderate-to-high complexity with minimal oversight, and being a valuable code/design reviewer for your team
  • Comfort thinking about the security implications of the infrastructure you build, not just its reliability
  • A pattern of mentoring less experienced engineers and speaking up with ideas and concerns in team discussions
  • Clear written and verbal communication – you document what you build and can explain it to both engineers and non-engineers
  • Comfort working across time zones, in both real-time and asynchronous contexts
