SRE / Platform Engineer

About the role

We run a deliberately boring stack — single Go API binary, single worker, PostgreSQL, Redis, no Kubernetes — but as we add regions, payment rails, and carrier partners, the operational surface grows faster than headcount. This radar role exists for the moment we need a dedicated platform engineer to own the deploy pipeline, observability backbone, and on-call rotation across multiple service boundaries.

What you'll do

  • Own GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines and the deploy story across staging and production VPS environments.
  • Operate the OpenTelemetry + SigNoz observability stack: trace sampling strategy, metric cardinality budgets, alert routing into Lark.
  • Run incident response: own postmortems, drive remediation actions to closure, build runbooks for recurring failure modes.

What we expect

  • 5+ years in SRE / DevOps / Platform roles operating production systems with real customer impact.
  • Hands-on experience with OpenTelemetry instrumentation and at least one observability backend (SigNoz, Honeycomb, Datadog, Tempo).
  • Comfort with Linux fundamentals, systemd, Docker, and PostgreSQL operational concerns (vacuum, replication, partition management).

Stack we use

GitHub Actions, Docker Compose v2, PostgreSQL 18 with monthly partitioning, Redis, OpenTelemetry SDK, SigNoz, Cloudflare, self-hosted runners on Mac Mini hardware.

Compensation

On the radar. Compensation is calibrated to local cost of living when we open this role — we publish bands when we begin interviewing, not before. USD-denominated regardless of jurisdiction, contractor or employment depending on your legal situation.
