Senior SRE Engineer

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Senior SRE Engineer based in Spain. This is a high-impact SRE role focused on building reliable, scalable infrastructure for an international gaming platform. You’ll help shape DevOps and SRE practices while contributing to technical strategy and a strong engineering culture. The role combines hands-on infrastructure engineering with observability, automation, cloud architecture, and incident management. You’ll work closely with development teams to improve reliability, scalability, deployment processes, and CI/CD practices. As a senior engineer, you’ll also mentor teammates and promote Kubernetes-native approaches across the engineering organization. The environment values autonomy, proactive problem-solving, continuous improvement, and practical automation over bureaucracy. It’s an opportunity to take meaningful ownership of reliability engineering while working with modern cloud-native technologies. Accountabilities
* Build and evolve DevOps and SRE practices, helping establish scalable approaches to reliability, infrastructure management, and operational excellence.
* Contribute to the team’s technical strategy and engineering culture, promoting robust, maintainable, and automation-first practices.
* Develop, maintain, and continuously improve the gaming platform infrastructure, with a strong focus on availability, scalability, and resilience.
* Design, operate, and enhance monitoring and observability systems, including metrics, dashboards, exporters, alerting, and reliability indicators.
* Participate in paid on-call rotations, strengthening incident response processes and helping ensure fast, effective resolution of production issues.
* Automate infrastructure operations and repetitive workflows to improve engineering efficiency and reduce manual intervention.
* Partner closely with development teams to improve system reliability, scalability, CI/CD, and change delivery processes.
* Mentor engineers and share Kubernetes-native practices, helping raise technical standards across the wider engineering community.
* Contribute to architectural decisions and cloud infrastructure evolution, balancing performance, reliability, scalability, and operational simplicity.
* Investigate incidents and technical issues systematically, focusing on root-cause analysis and long-term prevention rather than short-term fixes.

Requirements:
* 3+ years of professional experience in DevOps, SRE, or a closely related infrastructure engineering role.
* Deep hands-on expertise with Kubernetes and container orchestration, including operating and scaling production environments.
* Strong experience with Terraform and Infrastructure as Code, with an emphasis on reproducible and maintainable infrastructure.
* Proven experience designing and supporting high-availability infrastructure and production systems.
* Practical experience working with both SQL databases, particularly PostgreSQL, and NoSQL technologies.
* Strong knowledge of observability stacks, including Prometheus, Grafana, exporters, and alerting systems.
* Confident scripting and automation skills using Python and Bash.
* Solid understanding of CI/CD, GitOps, and platform engineering principles and practices.
* Strong systems thinking, with the ability to identify root causes, anticipate reliability risks, and develop sustainable solutions.
* A proactive approach to improving processes, automation, infrastructure, and overall reliability engineering practices.
* Strong communication and collaboration skills, with experience working closely with software engineering teams.
* Experience with Oracle Cloud is a plus.
* Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) certification is desirable.
* Experience with AWS or GCP is beneficial.
* Ability to read and understand JavaScript/TypeScript or Ruby code is an advantage.

Benefits:
* Fully remote working model, with the option to work from dedicated hubs in Kyiv or Warsaw.
* 20 paid working days off, public holidays, and paid sick leave to support sustainable work-life balance.
* Medical insurance with access to leading healthcare providers.
* Coverage for psychological support through the Pleso platform.
* Monthly Benefit Café allowance that can be used toward hobbies, sports, and personal interests.
* Access to team events, workshops, team-building activities, and company celebrations.
* Individual learning and development budget for courses and professional growth.
* Corporate English-language training, workshops, and access to an online learning library.
* Clear career development and performance review framework, alongside mentoring and training programs.
* High level of autonomy and freedom of action, with a culture designed to minimize unnecessary bureaucracy.
* Opportunity to work on technology solutions built from the ground up and contribute to modern cloud-native engineering practices.
