Site Reliability Engineer

About the Company:

Qumulo is the unstructured data platform to store and manage exabyte-scale data anywhere – at the edge, in the core data center and in the cloud. With unstructured data growing in more locations faster than ever before, enterprises today need a way to store, manage, and curate data simply and efficiently in any location, on any platform. This is precisely what Qumulo was founded to accomplish.

At Qumulo, we are building an open and collaborative culture where people can do their best work with customers as our magnetic field. We act as owners, we share by default, we are data driven and experimental and as an inclusive workplace, we encourage and celebrate multiple points of view. As part of our culture we believe diversity drives innovation.

About the Position:

As an SRE at Qumulo, you will help to develop solutions that help to manage and monitor applications we use internally and to support our customers.  We manage our internal build and test infrastructure which includes running multiple builds and hundreds of thousands of tests continuously in both on-prem environments and on the cloud  (such as AWS and Azure Native Qumulo Scalable File Service [ANQ]). This build and test environment is a core part of our engineering processes, providing continuous feedback to our engineering teams and allowing us to deliver new product releases regularly throughout each year. We also build and operate managed components of ANQ, delivering a highly available service to customers and keeping the service up to date with our latest features.

We work across engineering, product and customer success teams to identify opportunities to improve our processes and ensure that our existing systems are available and working as expected.  We implement solutions that reduce work through automation, providing scalable solutions that span our on-prem and cloud environments. We help manage the operating expense of running systems across multiple clouds.  We help drive down failures by providing frequent feedback to engineers on their changes with high quality test analytics.

Responsibilities: 

You will collaborate with a team that identifies opportunities, plans new features, and implements solutions. You will work with team members to build a backlog and deliver solutions iteratively.You will troubleshoot build and test failures, diagnosing problems that vary from build time compilation failures to integration test failures involving both virtual machine instances and Qumulo qualified hardware. You will implement monitoring to ensure that systems are working as expected and can raise alerts when problems are detected.

This position does include an on-call rotation which requires availability to respond to critical incidents impairing our owned applications.  

Technologies:

• Experience working in Linux (we use Ubuntu) 
• Experience with Python or similar programming languages
• Experience with system orchestration tools (such as Ansible, Terraform, and cloud specific implementations like AWS CloudFormation) is preferred.
• Experience with one or more of the major cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure)
• Functional working understanding of Kubernetes and working with containers to manage applications (we manage clusters in our on-prem locations as well as in the "cloud")
• Experience with monitoring tools and technologies (we use a combination of home grown solutions that utilize OpenMetrics as well as tools like Grafana, InfluxDB, and Prometheus)
• Experience troubleshooting systems issues
• Knowledge of build automation and test frameworks
