Overview
Join Eversports as our new Site Reliability Engineer! Help us revolutionize sports accessibility through our B2C and B2B applications! Develop high-performance features for our platform, drive initiatives, making it easier than ever to find, book, and pay for sports activities whilst contributing towards our mission “Make sports happen!”
Work time: Full-time (35h/week, every second Friday off!)
Planned start: Immediately
Location: VIENNA, Austria
Working Type: Hybrid (Office & Home Office)
Your Tasks
- Own Production Reliability: Take ownership of monitoring, alerting, and observability across our AWS environment so issues are detected and resolved before they reach users.
- Build a System-Wide View: Develop and maintain a holistic understanding of how our production systems fit together end-to-end, using it to find the highest-leverage reliability improvements and to prioritize where to act first.
- Lead Incident Response: Investigate incidents, run root-cause analysis, and drive long-term fixes that prevent recurrence. Establish and evolve incident-handling and on-call practices, and participate in the on-call rotation.
- Enable Team Ownership: Empower the value-aligned teams to own the health of their own applications - their key metrics, alarms, and runbooks - rather than centralizing reliability in the Platform Team.
- Tame Reactive Load: Provide a structured intake for infrastructure-related requests from teams (triage, planning, proposal, delivery), reducing today's unpredictable operational load.
- Automate Away Toil: Drive automation that improves resilience and reduces manual, repetitive operational work.
- Strengthen Recoverability & Compliance: Improve backup, recovery, and disaster-recovery practices, and support security and compliance requirements (NIS2, GDPR).
- Partner with Platform Engineering: Work closely with the Platform Engineers, feeding operational reality into their forward-looking platform initiatives (including CI/CD).
Your Profile
- 8+ years in SRE, DevOps, or Platform Engineering in mid/large-scale production systems, including experience inside an environment where mature SRE/reliability practices were already established, ideally having built up or significantly contributed to said environment.
- Proven track record of operating and reasoning about large, complex, interconnected production systems end-to-end (not only deep expertise in a single component).
- Strong experience operating and running production infrastructure on AWS.
- Deep, practical experience with reliability frameworks: SLIs, SLOs, error budgets, and alerting strategy.
- Experience with relational databases (MySQL or Postgres) from a reliability/operations perspective.
- Solid observability background (OpenTelemetry, Grafana/Prometheus, or similar).
- Experience defining and running incident management and on-call processes.
- Experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC), preferably AWS CDK.
- Comfortable with at least 2 programming languages e.g. TypeScript/Node.js, Bash, Python
- Proficiency with CI/CD and deployment automation (GitHub Actions or similar).
- Curiosity and openness towards AI tools in an infra/ops workflow (e.g. Claude, GitHub Copilot, or similar).
- Fluent written and verbal communication skills in English
Nice to have
- Hands on experience with our stack: ECS Fargate, Lambda, SQS, SNS, EventBridge, RDS MySQL.
- Experience coaching or enabling other teams to adopt reliability practices.
- Verbal communication skills in German.
