Description
Varo’s SRE team is well established, designing, building, and running large-scale, distributed, fault-tolerant systems that power most of Varo's operations. We live and breathe AWS and Kubernetes, having an open source first and result oriented mindset.

We are an automation and observability focused team and we strive to use tooling and automation to provide value to our customers. We empower service teams so they can monitor and create dashboards to promote a data-driven approach to scale out our platform. 

On a typical day, members of our team are hands-on in scaling-out production infrastructure, increasing performance and reliability, and collaborating with other teams to improve our internal developer platform. We collectively strive to build and maintain a rapid-feedback platform that enables our engineers to accomplish their own goals instead of creating friction.

What you'll be doing

  • Take ownership of the availability and resiliency of Varo's cloud-based infrastructure; design and maintain disaster recovery scenarios; design self-healing and resiliency patterns
  • Write and maintain infrastructure as code for core systems (terraform, terraform modules and kubernetes helm charts); build and maintain new platform systems; architect new solutions; build repeatable processes; implement declarative infrastructure
  • Improve observability and monitoring across Varo's infrastructure by implementing advanced tools and technologies. Create and maintain monitoring dashboards, alerts, and log systems to quickly identify and resolve issues
  • Help implement advanced observability tools like distributed tracing and anomaly detection for deeper system insights and efficient troubleshooting
  • Help lead high-profile incidents and facilitate blameless post-mortems
  • Collaborate with development teams to implement and improve SLIs and SLOs for their services and to promote service ownership. Use monitoring data to drive actionable insights and contribute to incident response strategies
  • Automate operational tasks to save time and improve accuracy
  • Write clean and scalable code, software and systems to manage platform infrastructure and applications.

You'll bring the following required skills and experiences

  • 9+ years as a Site Reliability, Platform, or Software Engineer
  • 6+ years of proficiency in one or more high-level languages (such as Python, GoLang, Ruby, Java, or JavaScript) required
  • Excellent Linux and troubleshooting skills 
  • Experience in building and supporting high-availability cloud environments in AWS
  • Experience using Infrastructure as code (IaC) and deployment automation with tools such as Terraform, Helm, Gitlab or equivalent
  • Experience running Kubernetes in production is a must. Istio experience is a plus
  • Experience required with monitoring, logging and tracing tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, Jaeger/Tempo, ELK/Loki, OpenTelemetry, Opensearch, and Cloudwatch
  • Experience instrumenting code (Java/Kotlin, Python, Go, etc.) and creating simple instrumentation frameworks for developers to adopt where auto instrumentation may fall short
  • Participate in an on-call rotation for after-hours production infrastructure incidents
  • Experience with SDLC and related tooling
  • Message Queue/Streams and Database (RDS) experience is a plus

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We prioritize job seekers as our customers, unlike bigger job sites, by charging a small fee to provide them with curated access to the best companies and up-to-date jobs. This focus allows us to deliver a more personalized and effective job search experience.
  • Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
  • The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
  • Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
  • We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
  • We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
  • From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
  • We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
  • If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
  • EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
