Senior Site Reliability Engineer - Cloud Database Platform

MariaDB is hiring a Senior Site Reliability Engineer to build, deploy, and operate its MariaDB Cloud platform in U.S. government cloud environments. The role owns production reliability, supporting services, automation, and implementation of federal security and compliance requirements, while providing operational feedback to the global platform engineering team.

Responsibilities:

• Deploy and operate Kubernetes-based infrastructure in AWS GovCloud (US) and Google Cloud, using Terraform/Terragrunt and GitOps pipelines developed jointly with our global SRE team
• Own production reliability for the U.S. government cloud environment: monitoring, alerting, capacity, incident response, and post-incident improvement
• Run and maintain the platform's supporting services - observability (Prometheus, Grafana), logging, secrets management, messaging, and CI/CD tooling — on top of Kubernetes
• Participate in the implementation of security hardening and compliance requirements for federal environments (e.g., FedRAMP), working alongside our security and compliance teams
• Improve automation relentlessly: if a task needs to be done twice, you'll turn it into code
• Take part in an on-call rotation for the environments you operate

Requirements:

• 10+ years of SRE, DevOps, or infrastructure engineering experience, including operating production Kubernetes
• Strong Infrastructure-as-Code skills (Terraform; Terragrunt a plus) and experience with GitOps-driven deployment workflows
• Solid Linux, networking, and TLS fundamentals
• Experience with observability tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, or similar) and log pipelines
• Scripting or programming proficiency (Go, Python, or Bash)
• Clear written communication - runbooks, incident reports, and change documentation matter in this environment
• This position requires U.S. citizenship and residency in the United States due to federal government cloud access requirements (AWS GovCloud)
