You will join Cloud Infrastructure and be hired based on your expertise and not for any specific team. The expertise we need:

Kubernetes : You should have hands-on knowledge about Kubernetes cluster setup either on-premise or using cloud solutions (e.g. GKE or EKS). You should have deep knowledge of Kubernetes core components and technologies around them. Istio or operators should be familiar concepts for you.

Networking: You should be fluent in networking. It works better if you have a good understanding of Linux. We operate across several clouds, so you need to be familiar with advanced networking concepts in the cloud, like VPC peering and across zones, regions, site-to-site VPNs, and cloud networking.

PostgreSQL: You should have a great understanding of SQL. You should have excellent knowledge about how PostgreSQL works. Concepts like MVCC, query planning, deadlock avoidance, and replication should be familiar. By habit, you should know the latest features of PostgreSQL. A good overview of the Postgres ecosystem is helpful.

We all have at least basic programming knowledge. We usually automate our tasks. You will feel more comfortable if you are also a fellow programmer. We are also familiar with SRE, DevOps, DevSecOps and FinOps concepts, with confidence in applying best practices of cloud computing on at least one of the major cloud providers. Our knowledge of Linux is excellent, and we have no issue using strace and ltrace. Shell scripting is easy for us. We know everything-is-an-fd, and we understand how containers work. We hope you are the same.

After joining as our expert in one area, we will actively encourage you to expand your knowledge in other areas. We have programmes that help you to switch teams in the same department or across departments. After a few years with us, you will improve your expertise and expand your knowledge in different areas.

We also help you grow as an individual contributor or manager in your role. We define our levels as:

Principal : You are experienced and senior enough that you can identify the problems that we are not even aware of, and you can propose the best solution for those.

Tech Lead : We know what the problem is, but we do not know the answer. We trust that you will figure out how to solve the problem. You have at least ten years of experience.

Senior : We know the problem and the answer, and we trust you to get it done and take care of the details. You should enable other team members and plan and unblock the projects. You have at least seven years of experience.

Junior : Someone we can trust to take care of accomplishing the tasks when the seniors manifest the details. You have at least three years of experience.

With you, we want to tackle challenges like moving towards micro-service-based architecture, introducing the Kubernetes platform and Infrastructure as Code, increasing our automation, supporting seamless switch-over from one cloud to another across all our services whether stateful or stateless, and supporting our customers in multiple regions using different clouds. We want to do this while maintaining uptime and developing new features daily.
