Job Description
Insight Global is seeking a Kubernetes Site Reliability Engineer to keep Ecolab’s new container platform reliable, fast, and secure across Azure and AWS. Applying software engineering to operations, you’ll set service-level objectives, lead incident response and on-call, automate toil, and help migrate Azure-native services toward cloud-agnostic patterns - codifying everything as Infrastructure as Code, building safe delivery pipelines, and hardening to CIS Benchmarks. Success is measured in uptime, fast recovery, and toil removed.
Key Responsibilities:
• Reliability & SLOs: Define and maintain SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets, and use them to drive priorities.
• Incident & on-call: Lead incident response on-call — detect, triage, resolve — then run blameless post-mortems.
• Observability: Build and tune monitoring, logging, tracing, and alerting (Elastic, Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog).
• Cloud migration: Help migrate Azure-native services (Functions, Cosmos DB) toward AWS / cloud-agnostic patterns with failover, replication, and latency tuning.
• Automation & performance: Engineer toil away (remediation, scaling, patching, backups) and run capacity planning, performance tuning, and load/scalability testing.
• Safe delivery: Build and safeguard CI/CD and progressive delivery (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, Argo Rollouts) with automated rollbacks.
• Security & policy: Harden to CIS Benchmarks and apply policy and access controls — OPA/Gatekeeper, AWS IAM, Azure RBAC — remediating Mythos vulnerabilities with security.
