    Site Reliability Engineer - San Francisco, United States - Talkdesk

    Default job background
    Description

    At Talkdesk, we are courageous innovators focused on helping organizations around the world create better customer experiences. Our AI-powered cloud contact center solutions optimize our customers' most critical customer service processes. We are recognized as a Contact Center as a Service (CCaaS) leader by influential research organizations including Gartner. With $498 million in total funding, a valuation of more than $10 Billion, and a ranking of #8 on the Forbes Cloud 100 list, now is the time to be part of the Talkdesk legacy to help accelerate our success in a new decade of transformational growth.

    We champion an inclusive and diverse culture representative of the communities in which we live and serve. And, we give back to our community by volunteering our time, supporting non-profits and minimizing our global footprint.

    Our Engineering team follows a micro-service architecture approach to build the next generation of Talkdesk, with vertical teams responsible for all the decisions under their services. Through our Agile Coaches, we promote agile and collaborative practices, we are huge fans of Scrum, pair programming and we won't let a single line of code reach production without peer code reviews. We strongly believe that the only true authority stems from knowledge, not from position and we always treat others with respect, deference and patience.

    We are looking for Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) who can help us design, build, and maintain high-performance, scalable, and reliable services. As Talkdesk provides a Contact Center service, we play a very critical role in our Customer's business operations and therefore need to provide a highly available and fault tolerant service.

    As an SRE at Talkdesk you will build, run, and maintain components that serve as the infrastructure foundation for the rest of Talkdesk, with the objective of having the least manual intervention possible, while also ensuring high availability and reliability of those components. You will also partner with other product engineering teams to help make their services more performant, scalable, observable and reliable. We believe in a DevOps philosophy where every engineering team at Talkdesk should be responsible for the software they build and deploy and SREs play a critical role in ensuring that the teams have the tools, practices, and expertise to make that happen in a blame free culture.

    Responsibilities:

    • Design, build, harden, and maintain the core infrastructure used by all of Talkdesk's engineering teams
    • Automate every aspect of our infrastructure to remove as much as possible any human intervention
    • Help keep existing base infrastructure running smoothly
    • Develop effective tooling, alerts, and response to both identify and address reliability risks
    • Drive and promote protocols on production readiness and operational excellence
    • Participate in on-call rotation alongside other engineering teams (opt-in)
    • Partner with product engineering teams to debug production outages and carry out action items to improve reliability of those systems
    • Participate in design reviews and production reviews for new features, products, or pieces of infrastructure
    • Plan for growth of Talkdesk's infrastructure

    Requirements:

    • Understanding of the importance of observability, and have good intuitions about what to measure and how
    • Know your way around a Linux/Unix system
    • Experience with Terraform and Packer
    • Ability to identify time consuming and error prone manual tasks and then build tooling to automate them
    • Understand large-scale complex systems from a reliability perspective
    • Ability to identify root causes of instability in a large-scale distributed system, across stacks
    • Hold yourself and others around you to higher stands when working with production
    • Bringing a developer mindset and applying it to infrastructure
    • You value simplicity

    Nice to haves / Pluses:

    • Experience with cloud-based solutions such as Amazon AWS, Google Cloud, or Microsoft Azure
    • Experience with technologies such as Docker, Consul, Vault, Jenkins, Concourse, Prometheus, Nexus
    • Experience with PaaS-like solutions such as Heroku, Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, Mesos, or OpenStack
    • Experience with messaging systems such as RabbitMQ or Kafka
    • Operational knowledge with various data stores such as MongoDB, Postgres, Redis, Cassandra, Elasticsearch
    • Experience with configuration management software such as Ansible or Chef
    • Experience with a programming language such as Ruby, Elixir/Erlang, Go, or any JVM-based language
    • Experience with designing and operating IP networks

    The Talkdesk story hinges on empathy and acceptance. It is the shared goal among all Talkdeskers to empower a new kind of customer hero through our innovative software solution, and we firmly believe that the best path to success for our mission is inclusivity, diversity, and genuine acceptance. To that end, we will hire, promote, work along, cheer for, bond with, and warmly welcome into the Talkdesk family all persons without regard to ethnic and racial identity, indigenous heritage, national origin, religion, gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, disability, marital status, veteran status, genetic information, or any other legally protected status.
