What's the role?

The mission of the SRE team within Portfolio Analytics (PORT) is to develop software solutions that solve the problems of understanding, measuring, and improving the reliability of our massive enterprise analytics platform. Within a product delivering billions of calculations and data points to hundreds of the most demanding enterprise customers every day (and growing), our SREs ensure that all of our clients have reliable access to our services to receive critical analytical context about their portfolio investments. At the same time, we focus on supporting service improvements, expansion of our service offerings, and staying ahead of the constantly increasing load and demand from our customers.

Through thoughtful software engineering and collaboration with application engineers, members of the PORT SRE team build solutions that automate and optimize the ability for PORT services and systems to run reliably for our customers. Our SRE team makes an impact by increasing the observability of PORT services, automating capacity management of production infrastructure, and improving the resiliency of our system by minimizing the time it takes to resolve issues via automation in deployments and incident response.

We’ll trust you to:

• Engineer a high-quality production platform and promotion pipeline that ensures capacity for PORT services
• Collaborate with application development teams to identify gaps and opportunities to resolve issues and improve reliability across a wide spectrum of PORT products
• Improve the observability of PORT systems to help identify issues or bottlenecks
• Reduce human toil through software solutions and remove/automate manual tasks, steps, and workflows
• Work with a team to accomplish goals within an agile software development life cycle
• Identify and evaluate new solutions that will augment with existing infrastructure; improve reliability and increase user experience
• Contribute to the work of the whole team, whether programming, peer reviewing, or collaborating with the application engineering and product operations teams to find the very best solution to their problems

You’ll need to have:

• Minimum 5+ years of professional work experience in a software engineer or SRE role
• Minimum 3+ years of scripting experience in Python
• Minimum 3+ years of experience working with Linux
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills for daily interaction with engineering and operations stakeholders
• Demonstrated exposure to all phases of the software development life cycle
• Demonstrated ability to identify opportunities for automation, and to develop and test a solution
• Fluency in both written and spoken English
• Demonstrated continuous career growth within an organisation

We’d love to see:
