Staff Site Reliability Engineer – Bare Metal Linux – Data Center – Networking
Location:100% remote within the EU
Our client, a publicly listed AI cloud provider, is building a platform for high-throughput, compute-heavy workloads.
They run 1,000+ bare-metal servers across their own datacenters, where failure modes are real, capacity is finite, and reliability needs to be engineered, not "handled".
We're looking for a Senior/Staff SRE to own production reliability end to end.
You'll 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, make deployments safer (canary/rollback), and turn observability into signal rather than noise.
This is a bare-metal environment: Linux, datacenters, physical fleets and real hardware constraints, not managed services.
You'll work close to the metal across Linux performance (CPU/memory/I/O contention), network debugging (DNS/TCP/TLS, packet loss, congestion) and Kubernetes running on bare metal.
On-call is part of the job, but success is measured by how much you reduce it.
Must-haves




Extensive,recent production experience running bare-metal / on-prem / datacenter infrastructure (not public cloud only),typically 15+ years in Linux-heavy roles
Experience operating large fleets of physical servers,directly or as part of a team
Deep hands-on Linux debugging and performance work at kernel level(CPU, memory, I/O, low-level behavior)
Strong coding in Go and/or Python,beyond automation scripts.
Real engineering capability is a must.
Experience in low-latency environments,e.g. kernel tuning, CPU pinning/NUMA, kernel bypass, RDMA/InfiniBand, HFT or GPU cluster networking
Nice to have
Kubernetes internals on bare metal: scheduler behavior, autoscaling edge cases, kubelet pressure/evictions, etcd/control plane
InfiniBand
Terraform, Puppet or Ansible; Docker, Helm and modern CI/CD
Work on large-scale infrastructure powering the AI economy
100% remote anywhere in the EU, with competitive compensation
If you're looking for complexity and a new place to nerd out on infrastructure optimization, we'd love to hear from you
