About the Role
Take full ownership of smartclip’s internal utility and platform tooling, focusing on observability, automation, and developer infrastructure. Evolve existing systems, research open-source alternatives, and implement them, prioritizing in-house expertise over expensive enterprise SaaS.
Responsibilities
- Operate and advance our observability stack (including Prometheus, Grafana, and Forgejo).
- Replace "buy" decisions with robust "build & maintain" strategies.
- Design observability as a platform capability.
- Define SLOs and create actionable alerting to stop incidents before they start.
- Embed security engineering into the delivery process.
- Navigate Linux systems and distributed tooling.
- Balance bold exploration with production stability.
Requirements
- Be motivated by systems thinking and deep technical curiosity.
- Implement a clear strategy for metrics, logs, and traces.
- Transform "noisy alerts" into "actionable insights."
- Live the "you build it, you run it" philosophy.
- Stop the ticket ping-pong and end the excuses.
- Design and evolve production-grade setups on GCP or AWS.
- Show contributions to open-source projects.
- Turn passion for root-cause analysis into blameless post-mortems.
- Provide a portfolio, side project, or demo repo showcasing shipped, production-ready, thought-through work.
