site reliability EngineerQuipper

Background
Quipper's SRE is organized with the mission of creating a self-contained development team that collaborates with the development team to ensure stability, reliability, and quality development experience for the learning services (Quipper Video, Quipper School) using Quipper products, which are expanding further in Indonesia, and the Philippines. The work involves not only building, monitoring, and responding to infrastructure failures, but also, and especially, leveraging public cloud and SaaS, automation, and OSS, so that these systems can function automatically in the current organization
About SRE Position
At Quipper, we are currently undergoing a gradual transition from a monolithic architecture to microservices. This is not only a technical issue, but also an organizational issue to move product development forward and explore better ways of providing education, and the importance of various DevOps/SRE practices can be felt with a real sense of urgency.
In the transition to microservices, a major challenge for the entire development organization, including SREs at present, is making development teams self-contained. When the same service is shared by multiple teams, releasing a feature requires complex coordination. Also, in creating a new service, if you need to coordinate with the infrastructure team to set up the necessary infrastructure, for example, that can cause a bottleneck.
This is where the self-contained team comes in. If each team can own a service according to their own scope of responsibility, the cost of coordination can be reduced to as close to zero as possible, and the cycle of developing the functions we need can be repeated many times at low cost, and through this we can create more correct products.
In addition, if the development team is able to select the technology for the infrastructure layer, they will be able to quickly verify the best options for the necessary functions. In such an organization, the SRE team is expected to make the product better by empowering the development organization, rather than just fulfilling requests.
Job description
Leveraging Public Cloud and SaaS
Quipper's services are currently built on AWS and GCP.
For the non-core parts of the service, we are proactively using SaaS.
Datadog for monitoring, Sendgrid for email, Sentry for error management, etc.
Infrastructure as Code
Infrastructure is coded and automated using tools such as Terraform and Ansible whenever possible.
Leveraging OSS
Kubernetes, Envoy, Argo CD, Ruby, Ruby on Rails, Go, gRPC, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, fluentd, etc. Quipper's services are supported by many OSS.
It is recommended to not only use OSS, but also to be actively involved in reporting issues and creating Pull Requests as needed.
Writing the code
If it makes more sense to use an existing solution without writing code, we will do so, or if it makes more sense to create our own, we will do so.
Specifically, you will work with team members and the development team to create, implement, and deploy concrete ideas for the following issues.
Create a program to learn the philosophy and skills of Site Reliability Engineering with the development team to explore better ways of product development.
A system to optimize the CI/CD pipeline and improve the development experience through GitOps tools, etc.
A mechanism for self-service of cloud resources such as AWS
Planning and application of autoscaling for flexible scaling according to service growth and seasonality
Simplification and automation of scaling through Cluster/Pod autoscaling
Observability infrastructure using Envoy, OpenTelemetry, etc.
Easy to use mechanism to promote stability of Microservices such as Circuit Breaker and Rate Limiting by using Istio/Envoy etc.
Gradual migration of job execution platforms such as Jenkins to a Cloud Native form that matches the current form of the organization.
A system to efficiently develop applications on Kubernetes using Telepresence, etc.
A system to easily collect common metrics for each language and framework using Prometheus Exporter, etc.
Preparation of log formats and libraries for searching logs across multiple applications.
Optimization of resources and costs through the use of Savings Plans, Spotinst, etc.
