The opportunity
At Braze, we have found our people. We’re a genuinely approachable, exceptionally kind, and intensely passionate crew.
What you'll do
Design, build, and operate Redis/Valkey, Memcached, Elasticsearch and: Observability systems on Kubernetes with a focus on reliability, performance and cost efficiency at scale
Write the software that manages these systems: Kubernetes operators, automation, CLIs, and self-serve tooling that replace manual operations
Own and evolve Braze's observability platform, including metrics collection,: long-term storage, alerting, and dashboards, so teams can detect and diagnose issues early
Lead capacity planning, upgrades, and migrations for large, stateful systems with minimal customer impact
Partner with engineering teams across Braze to improve how they use these: systems, from data modeling and access patterns to query performance and monitoring
Investigate complex production issues across the stack and turn what you: learn into durable fixes and better tooling
What they're looking for
- Contribute to the team's on-call rotation and help improve runbooks and write: tooling that would help incident response
- Document your designs and decisions clearly for a global team
- + years of experience in software engineering, platform engineering, or SRE,: with a strong record of writing production code (not only operating systems)
- Hands-on experience running stateful, distributed systems in production at scale
