Site Reliability Engineer Full Time
Sketch is used by over a million designers to transform their ideas into incredible products, every day. Would you like to join us and help take the infrastructure that supports this leading design tool to the next level? We are looking to expand our team with a full-time site reliability engineer.
The job
As a Site Reliability Engineer at Sketch, you will focus on shaping our cloud infrastructure and making sure all the pieces work well together in development, metrics, processing and observability environments, security policies, network design, strategies. implementation, high availability, etc.
You will work closely with backend, frontend, Mac developers, and product managers to ensure platform stability and actively participate in the architecture and design of new projects.
The battery
At Sketch, we work with a unique combination of technology. A deeply interconnected platform consisting of a Linux-based cloud platform and our award-winning macOS app.
Our cloud stack backend is based on a combination of containerized and serverless services built on Elixir and Go and exposing GraphQL and REST APIs, with most of the pieces implemented on AWS and automated through Terraform. Our backend services hold data in PostgreSQL databases and other minor services.
We use Chef for configuration management every time we need to configure instances for non-cloud services and Python for small programs or scripts, eg. Eg to migrate data, run recurring jobs or automate operations.
Our monitoring, metrics and alerts stack includes Thanos, ELK, and Grafana.
For CI / CD and testing, we primarily use CircleCI, but also our fully automated, code-defined Jenkins instance, which, among other tasks, generates ephemeral ECS workers to run jobs.
The challenge
Due to our unique technology combination, you will encounter many interesting challenges when working as an SRE in Sketch, such as
