About the Role

We are looking for a Developer - Site Reliability to join our SRE team. Our systems run globally and scale to handle more than 250 billion events per day with continued exponential growth.

We value a culture of sharing, so every team has the opportunity to share their work with the entire department during our monthly R&D Demos. Once a year we hold a department-wide Hackathon, teaming up across all R&D teams over four days to collaborate and build cool ideas outside the normal project scope. While innovation is the focus, some of these ideas do make it into our products.
