Checkly

Posted 3 years ago

Checkly is looking for an experienced Site Reliability Engineer. This is a great opportunity to join an early stage company, influence the product roadmap and help us do what we love most: building the best monitoring platform for developers.

Make our reliability product more reliable

Checkly is — in essence — a reliability company. People trust our software to alert them when their software goes "poof". We use AWS Lambda/SQS/SNS/S3, Heroku, Postgres, Redis and soon ClickHouse to make this happen, from 20+ locations around the world.

Build and shape our SRE practices
You will play a key role in defining how to "do reliability". Together with your coworkers in the product engineering teams, you will be responsible for:

Observability of our backend platform: define bottlenecks, track them and fix them.
Optimize our performance and reduce error rates: from wild queries, to slow queues to Heisenbugs.
Streamlining our on-call process and optimizing our runbooks.
Work with the product folks to have reliability baked in to everything we do: define SLO's and SLA's and enforce them.

Requirements

You have deep experience in operating and troubleshooting mission critical SaaS environments as an SRE.
You have deep working experience with AWS, SQL &OLAP databases and Node.js.
You like to work in a growing company with experienced founders.
You know how to communicate with coworkers and customers in English.
You are quick to pick up on new stuff and enjoy the process of learning new things.
You love making software!

Bonus points

Experience with building SaaS tools for developers.
Obsessed with browser automation in the cloud.
