Summary

Role 1 — Core Platform Engineer, Level 1

The engineering first line of defense: incident response, triage, reliability, and automation across the full infrastructure stack.

Day-to-day:

Runs incident response drills, post-mortems, and root cause analysis; learns from past incidents to prevent recurrence.
Starts the day reviewing overnight alerts and system performance metrics, triaging anomalies.
Participates in team stand-ups on projects, incidents, and daily priorities.
Automates routine processes, analyzes system logs, and builds tools to strengthen monitoring.
Works alongside software engineers advising on resilient-code best practices and reviewing changes pre-deployment.
Maintains high SLIs/SLOs; documents work and shares insights with a customer-centric mindset.

Must have:

Architecture, design patterns, reliability, and scaling of new and existing systems.
Incident command experience — driving RCA, coordinating cross-functional teams, ensuring corrective-action follow-through.
Observability built from the ground up — defining SLOs/SLIs, closing monitoring gaps, alerting strategies that catch failures before customers do.
Linux kernel internals — scheduler, memory allocation, driver subsystems.
High-quality code in at least one language (Python, Go, or similar).
System-level debugging — kdump, kernel panic analysis.
IaC (Ansible, Terraform, Kubernetes) and CI/CD (GitLab CI, AWX, etc.) for bare-metal or cloud infrastructure.
TCP/IP and network programming.
Distributed storage systems — object, block, and/or file storage paradigms.
Strong communication skills.

Sourcing note: This is a deep SRE profile, not a pure generalist. The kernel-internals and system-level debugging bar is real and higher than a typical "L1" label implies — screen for genuine engineering depth, not helpdesk/NOC-tier breadth.
