Bitnami’s mission is to bring awesome software to everyone. Every month, 1MM+ developers come to our site to download and launch their favorite language runtimes and applications. The Sr Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) team at Bitnami is responsible for the availability and performance of the infrastructure as well as partnering with the other engineering teams to successfully build, deploy and manage Bitnami’s services.   The principles that drive how we approach SRE at Bitnami are:  

  • If it’s repeatable, it can be automated; quality of life matters, it must not be subsumed by toil

  • If it’s monitored, it can alert its owners; failure detected by humans ahead of systems are second degree failures

  • If it’s backed up, it can be restored; disasters must be recoverable

  • If it’s measured, it can be improved; when it fails, it’s a learning opportunity for that improvement   You must bring an understanding of the IT business (typically gained by having built or worked extensively with a private or public cloud); a broad perspective of the cloud industry and where it is headed; and experience in building solutions that scale. Working with all of the major cloud providers, as well as the ones aspiring to be major, container hosting and orchestration services and infrastructure will provides challenges and opportunities rarely found elsewhere.
