Description

We're looking for a Senior SRE / Performance Engineer to help operate and scale a suite of microservices powering live, VOD, and cloud-DVR video streaming for millions of devices. You'll own reliability, performance, and release confidence across a high-throughput, latency-sensitive platform running on AWS Kubernetes. This role blends deep SRE/performance engineering with hands-on DevOps; experience validating functional correctness during releases is a robust plus.

What You'll Do

- Own the reliability of production video services — SLOs/SLIs, error budgets, on-call, incident response, and blameless postmortems.
- Proactively monitor production to detect anomalies, degradations, and emerging issues before they impact customers — building alerting, trend analysis, and health signals that surface problems early.
- Drive performance engineering: design and run load, stress, and endurance tests; analyze latency (p50/p95/p99), throughput, GC behavior, heap/off-heap, and resource utilization; find and eliminate bottlenecks.
- Validate major platform changes (e.g., runtime/JVM/language upgrades) under production-scale load before rollout, including A/B comparisons and canary analysis.
- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines and progressive-delivery (blue/green, canary) deployments; improve rollback safety and release automation.
- Develop observability — dashboards, metrics, tracing, and alerting — to make system behavior visible and actionable.
- Tune and operate the production stack: Kubernetes autoscaling, JVM/GC, caching, connection pooling, and circuit breakers.
- Partner with development teams on capacity planning, cost/efficiency, and production-readiness reviews.
- Contribute functional validation during releases — verifying key API behaviors and customer flows alongside performance checks.

Required Qualifications (8+ years)

- 8+ years in SRE, Performance Engineering, DevOps, or a closely related production-engineering role.
- Strong experience operating large-scale, distributed,



microservice systems in production.
- Proven track record of proactive production monitoring — using metrics, logs, and traces to identify and resolve issues before they escalate.
- Hands-on performance/load testing with tools such as JMeter, Gatling, k6, or Locust — including designing endurance tests and interpreting results.
- Deep observability skills: metrics, logging, and distributed tracing (e.g., Datadog, Prometheus/Grafana, Splunk, ELK).
- Solid Kubernetes and AWS experience (EKS, autoscaling, networking, IAM, S3).
- CI/CD proficiency (GitLab CI, Jenkins, or similar) and infrastructure-as-code / GitOps (Helm, ArgoCD, Terraform).
- Strong Linux fundamentals, scripting (Bash/Python), and comfort debugging production issues from logs, traces, and metrics.
- JVM performance literacy — GC tuning, heap/memory analysis, thread/connection pools.

Nice to Have

- Functional validation / release testing experience — verifying API and customer-facing behavior during deployments (a strong plus for this role).
- Experience with video streaming / OTT / CDN / DRM platforms.
- JVM language exposure (Scala, Java, Kotlin) and reading service code to diagnose issues.
- Service mesh (Istio/Envoy), caching (Memcached/Redis), and messaging (Kafka).
- Capacity planning and cloud cost optimization.
- Experience validating runtime/platform migrations (e.g., JDK or language-version upgrades) under load.
