SRE/ DevOps Engineer

We use state-of-the-art AI and intuitive UI to eliminate useless cumbersome paperwork and make the whole world go faster. Help us engineer the platform for our SaaS to scale it to terabyte-size datasets, tens of thousands of simultaneous users and reliably serve the biggest enterprises and software vendors in the world.

We are already processing hundreds of documents per minute on a regular basis. But this volume grows exponentially and the scope of our product only slightly slower. And we are still just getting started and ready to rewrite everything a couple more times.

As part of our team, you'll play a crucial role in this journey by engineering robust infrastructure, automating deployments, and ensuring seamless operations.

Our Tech Stack

• All our services are deployed in Kubernetes on AWS.

• Our deployments and releases are based on GitOps.

• We use Terraform to write infrastructure as code and Flux and Kyverno automate kubernetes changes

• We monitor our infrastructure with Prometheus and Grafana.

• We use RabbitMQ as communication middleware.

• We use PostgreSQL for our primary databases.

• Developers use mostly Python, with TypeScript on the frontend.

• Most of our apps are microservices or getting there.

• Our product teams run and operate their apps, while SRE team manages the shared infrastructure.

Role Responsibilities:

Platform Management

• Maintain Core Infrastructure: Design, build, and maintain the core Rossum platform infrastructure, primarily on Kubernetes and AWS, ensuring high availability and reliability.

• Own the Platform: Take full ownership of the platform where all services run, ensuring smooth and efficient operations.

Application Deployment:: Manage and automate the deployment of applications developed by the team, ensuring seamless and error-free releases using CI/CD pipelines.

Monitoring and Support

• Application Monitoring: Implement and maintain monitoring solutions (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana) for applications created by developers, ensuring performance and reliability.

• Support Developers: Provide necessary support to developers, helping them overcome roadblocks and ensuring their components run smoothly.

Standardization and Best Practices

• Establish Standards: Develop and enforce standardized procedures for application delivery to production, ensuring consistency and quality across deployments.

• Guide Development Teams: Create and maintain best practices for development and deployment processes, ensuring that developers adhere to these standards.

Innovation and Continuous Improvement

• Evaluate New Technologies: Continuously seek, test, and implement new infrastructure technologies to improve the platform's scalability, reliability, and efficiency.

• Iterative Development: Be open to rewriting and improving systems as needed to keep up with growth and evolving requirements.

Collaboration and Meetings:: Meet with the team in Prague at least every two weeks to collaborate, share updates, and align on goals and tasks.

Problem Solving and Adaptability: Be accustomed to working in high-pressure situations, seeking innovative solutions to unique challenges and not relying on standard templates.
