About

Since the beginning, we've been committed to creating a modern and cloud-native tech platform (based on Google Cloud) that adheres to the industry's highest development and operation standards. Our front-end is written in Typescript with React and our back-end in Go, which consists of loosely coupled docker-containerized microservices communicating via RESTful APIs and pub-sub queues. These containers are orchestrated using Kubernetes and monitored with APM via Datadog.

Our CI/CD pipelines are automated using Git Hub actions, ArgoCD, and our own open-source config management tool Joy. All infrastructure configuration is managed using Infrastructure as Code via Pulumi (similar to Terraform, but using a rich and extensible programming language and API, in our case, Type Script), ArgoCD and Crossplane.

We strive to implement the best emerging Dev Ops practices, such as Git Ops, Internal Developer Platforms, and Infrastructure as Code. We believe that Dev Ops goes beyond the mere automation of pipelines; it should encompass all areas of the business, empowering its actors and stakeholders to actively contribute to the organization's overall success.

We are looking for a passionate System Reliability Engineering (SRE) Developer who shares our core principles and wishes to join our dedicated Platform team. You’ll collaborate closely with our development teams to help ensure system stability and performance through various initiatives as we continue to scale our modern mortgage platform of the future.

What you'll be doing

You will apply software engineering principles to operations, focusing on the core SRE objectives of stability, performance, and automation. Crucially, you will act as a force multiplier by empowering our development teams.

Service Reliability & Observability:  Drive SRE efforts to enhance the platform's overall resilience, uptime, performance, and stability.

Design and implement end-to-end active monitoring, alerting, and detection of issues using tools like Datadog.

Gather, process, and analyze metrics, logs, and traces from systems and applications to assist in performance tuning and fault finding.

Continuously improve our system's performance and scalability, including investigating and implementing solutions to current system bottlenecks (e.g., sharding strategy, database architecture, microservice communication).

Automation & Developer Velocity:  Create sustainable systems and services through extensive automation to eliminate operational bottlenecks and reduce toil.

Enhance our CI/CD pipelines (Git Hub Actions) and deployment flow (Kubernetes, ArgoCD) by enhancing application and infrastructure observability.

Enhance our infrastructure automation (Pulumi, Type Script, Crossplane) and mature our cloud infrastructure to ensure it is secure, compliant, and cost-effective.

Knowledge Sharing & Developer Empowerment:  Foster a culture of quality and ownership by enabling developers to manage their services with confidence.

Guide and train development teams on best practices for observability, alerting configurations, and defining Service Level Objectives (SLOs) for critical services.

Improve the clarity and adoption of our incident management and analysis process.
