About The Job
We are looking for a hands-on
Senior SRE – Network & Proxy Infrastructure to take ownership of a large-scale, global proxy infrastructure.
Our system consists of
hundreds of Linux servers distributed worldwide, handling high-volume, real-time traffic. This role sits at the intersection of
systems, networking, and production reliability.
You will be responsible for ensuring the stability, performance, and scalability of the platform - from deep packet-level troubleshooting to building monitoring, automation, and operational workflows.
This is not a traditional IT or networking role - it is a
production engineering position focused on real-world traffic, performance, and reliability at scale.
Responsibilities
- Configure, install, and manage proxy systems to optimize network and data flow performance.
- Investigate and resolve production issues involving latency, connectivity, and routing behavior
- Monitor system and network health using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, or similar observability stacks. Implement alerts and dashboards to proactively detect and mitigate service degradation.
- Write and modify scripts/code to automate network and system operations.
- Troubleshoot technical issues related to proxies, networks, and server performance.
- Analyze network traffic (TCP/IP, HTTP/S) to identify bottlenecks and anomalies
- Work with DevOps tools to manage and maintain server infrastructure.
- Analyse network traffic data and identify patterns to enhance overall system efficiency.
- Collaborate with R&D and IT teams to improve system architecture and performance.
Requirements
- 3+ years of hands-on experience in production systems / SRE / network-oriented roles.
- Strong understanding of:
- TCP/IP fundamentals
- HTTP/HTTPS behavior
- DNS resolution and networking basics (firewalls, load balancers and Proxy technologies)
- Strong Linux skills (processes, networking tools, system performance)
- Proficiency in scripting languages (Bash, Python); experience with automation and CI/CD workflows (e.g., Jenkins).
- Hands-on experience with DevOps tools (e.g., Linux, Docker, Kubernetes, cloud platforms).
- Background in customer service/support is an advantage.
Why This Role Is Interesting
- Work on a globally distributed system at a massive scale
- Solve real network problems - not just dashboards
- High ownership and impact on core product performance
- Close collaboration with engineering on architecture decisions
