SRE Engineer
GuangZhou, China
We’re looking for a passionate Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) to join our infrastructure team. You must be a systems thinker, problem-solver, and automation advocate with a proven track record of building resilient, scalable systems.

What you’ll be spending your time on:
- Design, build, and maintain highly available, scalable distributed systems.
- Deploy, maintain, and optimize Kubernetes platforms.
- Deploy and maintain distributed storage solutions such as GlusterFS and Ceph.
- Manage Jenkins CI/CD pipelines (deployment, maintenance, and usage).
- Execute daily system deployment and production releases.
- Maintain hardware servers and related infrastructure.
- Monitor system health in real-time using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, etc., and implement alerting mechanisms.
- Develop automation tools and scripts (Python/Go/Shell) to reduce manual operations and improve efficiency.
- Analyze capacity requirements and develop scaling strategies to balance cost and performance.
- Identify performance bottlenecks and optimize service response times, throughput, and resource utilization.
- Perform regular data center and system inspections.
- Create and maintain technical and operational documentation.
- Research and integrate new tools and technologies.
- Complete other tasks assigned by leadership.
