**Team:** IT Infrastructure and Operations

### **About the Role**

At Databricks Information Technology, we are a product-led organization transforming how we work—from the ease of using our IT services to the applications we develop to scale seamlessly during rapid growth.

As a **Site Reliability Engineer (SRE)**, you will bridge the gap between software engineering and systems architecture. You will be a core contributor to the IT Infrastructure team, owning the evolution of core infrastructure and observability platforms. This role requires a strong software engineering mindset and deep technical breadth to deliver high-quality, scalable solutions for "immature" system problems. Your focus will be on building resilient, automated infrastructure that empowers development teams and ensures our cloud environment is cost-optimized, secure, and highly available.

### **The Impact You Will Have**

- **Architect and Automate:** Design and deploy production-grade infrastructure on cloud platforms (AWS/Azure) using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like Terraform or Pulumi.
- **Reliability and Performance Engineering:**Optimize system performance, architecture, and scaling to ensure maximum uptime and minimal latency for critical IT services.
- **CI/CD Excellence:** Architect robust deployment pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions), managing both hosted and self-hosted runners for specialized build requirements.
- **Observable by Default:** Create underlying infrastructure to ensure new internal applications are secure and have logging, metrics and alerts enabled by default.
- **Agentic ToolingI:** Build internal AI plugins, and automation scripts to streamline developer workflows and enhance operational efficiency.
- **Incident Response:** Focus on subsequent data usage, incident management workflows, and creating necessary dashboards to maintain service health. Participate in a shared on-call rotation, leading rapid incident response and technical troubleshooting for production outages.Facilitate blameless post-mortems to identify root causes and implement permanent preventive engineering solutions.
- **Partner Cross-Functionally:** Collaborate with Security, Engineering, and Support teams to deliver real business outcomes.

### **What We Look For**

- **Software Engineering Expertise:** 5+ years of production-level experience with strong proficiency in **Python** (non-negotiable).
- **Infrastructure as Code (IaC):** Expert-level proficiency in **Terraform** (modules, state management) or Pulumi.
- **Cloud & Containers:** Hands-on experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP, along with Kubernetes, Docker, and containerization concepts.
- **Observability Mindset:** Deep understanding of observability pillars (logging, metrics, tracing) and experience with tools such as **Datadog**, Prometheus, or ELK.
- **Distributed Systems:** Proficiency in running systems using concepts like **Kafka** or messaging queues.
- **CI/CD Proficiency:** Advanced knowledge of GitHub Actions and GitHub Runners.
- **Independent Execution:** Ability to take ownership of ambiguous projects, follow a vision set by tech leads, and execute independently with minimal guidance.
