Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- You will be the guardian and architect of smartclip's internal infrastructure. Your goal is to turn observability and automation from 'tools we use' into a 'platform capability' that empowers every other engineer in the company.
- Own the Observability Stack: Take the lead on Prometheus, Grafana, and Forgejo. You won't just maintain them; you will evolve them into a world-class monitoring ecosystem.
- Engineer for Reliability: Design actionable alerting and define SLOs that move us from reactive firefighting to proactive stability.
- Champion Open Source: Evaluate and implement cutting-edge open-source alternatives to proprietary software. You decide what enters our stack and how it integrates.
- Secure the Pipeline: Integrate security engineering directly into our delivery process. You find the vulnerabilities before the pen tests do.
- Master the Metal: Navigate the depths of Linux systems and distributed tooling, balancing bold experimentation with rock-solid production stability.

- The Power-Ups (Nice-to-haves):
- Active contributions to the open-source community or a portfolio of self-hosted projects.
