Job Title: Lead Platform & Reliability Engineer

Location: Remote
Employment Type: Full-time

Description

• We are at a critical inflection point. Our low-code platform is preparing for an immediate scale-up to 3,000,000 concurrent users.
• We currently operate on a GKE-based architecture with 78 microservices and a MongoDB Atlas backend.
• We need a Lead SRE who can transform our current synchronous system into a high-concurrency, asynchronous engine capable of surviving massive traffic spikes without database or compute failure.

Responsibilities

• Decoupled Architecture: Transition synchronous API flows to Google Cloud Pub/Sub to act as a shock absorber for a MongoDB Atlas M60+ cluster.
• Database Guardrails: Implement and own the "Speed Limit" for our database.
• You will configure Subscriber-side Flow Control in Node.js and Kubernetes HPA to ensure we never exceed 10,000 IOPS or 32k connections.
• Resource Isolation: Isolate heavy Puppeteer/Chrome workloads from core platform services using Cloud Run or dedicated Spot VM node pools with taints/tolerations.
• Observability & Alerts: Build a "Nerve Center" using Cloud Monitoring.
• You must track Message Age, Disk Throughput, and Connection Saturation with millisecond precision.
• Platform Hardening: Work with our 78 microservices to optimize their container footprints using Vertical Pod Autoscaling (VPA) and efficient bin-packing.

Requirements

• Interested candidates should possess a Bachelor's Degree with 2 - 5 years experience.

Technical Requirements:

• GCP Mastery: Deep experience with GKE, Pub/Sub, and Cloud Run. You should know how to request and manage high-scale CPU quotas.
• Advanced Node.js: You must understand how to manage the Event Loop under heavy load and how to properly ack/nack messages in a distributed queue.
• MongoDB at Scale: Experience with Atlas M60/M80 tiers. You must know how to diagnose Index Resident Memory issues and manage connection pooling at the platform level.
• The "SRE Mindset": You believe that a "Slow" system is better than a "Broken" one.
• You have experience implementing Backpressure and Circuit Breakers.

Salary
