We are a premier software outsourcing company, partnering with some of the world’s most successful businesses to build and manage dedicated, remote teams of top-tier software engineers and other technical talent.

We are looking for a talented Senior SRE / Platform Engineer (FinOps & Performance) to join our global team.

About This Role

Senior SRE / Platform Engineer

Job Description

We are looking for a systems-minded developer to join our e-commerce DevOps engineering team.

You will bridge the gap between our apps (Java/TypeScript/NextJS) and our infrastructure (AWS- EKS, EC2).

As an always curious high-ownership engineer who thrives in multicultural, remote-first environments your

goal is to ensure our platform is resilient under peak load, observable by default, and cost-optimized by

design.

Core Responsibilities

  • Cloud & Systems Troubleshooting: Solve complex performance bottlenecks by navigating the entire stack -from GNU/Linux kernel tuning and networking (TCP/IP, DNS) to modern AWS architectural trends. You understand how cloud-native abstractions interact with the underlying hardware and never stop at a “restart” but have the tenacity to find the true root cause.

  • Performance Engineering: Partner with developers as a peer to architect and execute rigorous load and stress tests. You take ownership of the results, helping teams refactor code or infrastructure to ensure we stayup when traffic spikes.

  • Infrastructure as Code: Maintain and scale our platform using Terraform. (Experience with Pulumi is welcomed).

  • FinOps as a Product: Treat “Cost” as a primary engineering metric. You will lead cloud cost optimization, ensuring every dollar spent translates to performance and reliability.

  • Modern Observability: Stay ahead of the curve on observability practices. You will ensure we have deep, actionable visibility across our services, regardless of the underlying tool (Datadog, OpenTelemetry, etc.).

  • Engineering Culture: Act as a force multiplier. You build “paved roads” and self-service tools that allow developers to own their reliability without the friction. Work closely with Engineering, Product, Project Managers and CX to troubleshoot time-sensitive production issues. You act as a mentor, sharing knowledge to raise the collective expertise of the entire organization.

Qualifications

  • Hybrid Background: 4+ years in SRE/DevOps with a background in Software Development, building and operating production systems at scale.
  • Systems Knowledge: Experience with large-scale, business-critical Linux environments on AWS. You know how to debug a system when abstraction layers fail.
  • Programming: High proficiency in Python, Go, BASH. Experience with Java or TypeScript/Next.js is a significant plus.
  • Foundations: Solid cloud foundations (networking, identity/IAM, storage, compute, databases, and AWS Cloud caching services) and managed Kubernetes (AWS EKS) fundamentals.
  • Security: Familiarity with access boundaries, guardrails, secrets management, and encryption.
  • E-commerce Domain: Experience with e-commerce, billing/fulfillment systems, or the Shopify ecosystem is a big plus.

Essential Knowledge, Skills and Abilities:

  • Analytical Mindset: You treat “Cost” and “Latency” as equally important technical metrics.
  • Communication: Ability to translate complex infrastructure needs into clear, actionable goals for dev teams.
  • Pragmatism: A strong bias to automate and document, leaving systems simpler than you found them.
