Responsibilities:
- As a Platform SRE (Site Reliability Engineer) at Todyl, you will be responsible for developing tools and services that support Todyl's application hosting infrastructure, including but not limited to Kubernetes-based environments.
- Build automation to improve reliability and reduce human interaction for Day 2 Operations, with an emphasis on infrastructure-as-code practices.
- Implement and enforce security policies, access controls, and system patching — treating security hygiene as a first-class operational responsibility rather than an afterthought.
- Own attack surface management for production infrastructure: identify exposure, prioritize remediation, and drive CVE resolution to completion rather than leaving findings unactioned.
- Operationalize security tooling by building integrations, establishing remediation workflows, and ensuring findings are consistently acted upon.
- Own features and services through deployment and stabilization — work isn't done until it's stable in production and documented.
- Collaborate with product and engineering teams to deliver solutions that meet the needs of stakeholders and the business.Improve application monitoring and alerting to minimize time to detect and time to restore; review dashboards and logs to verify deployments succeeded.
- Identify and drive cost-optimization opportunities, including resource labeling, right-sizing, and efficiency improvements, to reduce COGs.
- Participate in a weekly on-call rotation, resolve most issues independently, and update runbooks and documentation after incidents.
- MUST HAVE: Experience managing Kubernetes and applications running on Kubernetes.
- MUST HAVE: General competency in one or more scripting or programming languages, including Python or Bash.
- MUST HAVE: Demonstrated experience identifying and remediating vulnerabilities in production infrastructure, including CVE triage and remediation workflows.
- Experience managing production Linux systems at scale.
- Working knowledge of REST APIs.
- Familiarity with networking fundamentals and common attack surface concepts (exposed services, misconfigured access controls, unpatched dependencies).
- Comfort with cloud security tooling and the ability to operationalize findings into actionable remediation work.
- Comfort with cloud cost management concepts, including resource tagging and cost attribution strategies.
- Breaks work into incremental deliverables; communicates delays early and tracks progress against estimates.
- Writes and maintains tests for the automation and tooling you build; proactively considers edge cases and failure conditions.
- Ability to quickly learn new concepts, frameworks, and technologies, including AI-assisted tools to accelerate development and reduce toil.
- Comfortable building and maintaining production services with a strong sense of ownership from build through stabilization.
- Production experience using CI/CD for code deployment.
- Experience with on-call rotations and incident response processes.
