Staff Site Reliability Engineer – Bare Metal Linux – Data Center – Networking Location : 100% remote within the EU

Our client is building a cloud platform for high-throughput, compute-heavy workloads. They operate large-scale infrastructure where failure modes are real, capacity is finite, and reliability needs to be engineered, not “handled”.

We’re seeking a Senior/Staff SRE who will own production reliability end-to-end for our client: define SLIs/SLOs, run error budget conversations, and ship changes that reduce incidents and improve latency (p95/p99). You’ll build automation to kill toil, improve deployment safety (canary/rollback), and turn observability into signal rather than noise.

This is a bare-metal environment: think Linux, datacenters, physical fleets, and real hardware constraints, not managed services. You’ll work close to the metal across Kubernetes internals (scheduling, autoscaling behavior, kubelet pressure/evictions, etcd/control plane), Linux performance (CPU/memory/I/O contention),



and network debugging (DNS/TCP/TLS, packet loss, congestion). On-call is part of the job, but success is measured by how much you reduce it.

Must requirements:

Extensive and r ecent Production Engineering experience running bare metal

/ on-prem / data center infrastructure (not public cloud only)

Deep hands-on expertise in Linux systems debugging and performance

at a

kernel leve l(CPU, memory, I/O, low-level behaviors)

Strong understanding of networking

(DNS/TCP/TLS, latency, packet loss, congestion, troubleshooting under load)

Experience with Terraform, Docker, Helm , and modern CI/CD practices

Strong coding skills are required for this role either in Go, and/or Python , beyond automation scripting - Real engineering capability is a must

Experience in

Low Latency environments.
