About the role

  • Senior Site Reliability Engineer at Unify addressing reliability challenges and scaling data infrastructure. Collaborating on backend services and ensuring stable platform performance for enterprise customers.

Responsibilities

  • Scale our data infrastructure: Optimize and extend our ClickHouse and PostgreSQL deployments—designing partitioning strategies, tuning queries, and improving replication and failover systems.
  • Improve system performance: Profile and optimize critical paths across backend services, identify bottlenecks in data pipelines and API layers, and ship changes that improve latency and throughput.
  • Build for reliability: Implement rate limiting, circuit breakers, graceful degradation, and other patterns that keep the platform stable under load and during partial failures.
  • Automate everything: Write tooling that eliminates toil—automating deployments, scaling operations, backup verification, and incident remediation.
  • Instrument and observe: Build out distributed tracing, metrics, and alerting that give engineers clear visibility into system behavior and accelerate debugging.
  • Respond and learn: Participate in on-call rotations, run incident response, and drive blameless postmortems that prevent recurrence.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of software engineering experience with a strong backend foundation, including 2+ years focused on reliability, infrastructure, or platform work.
  • Hands-on experience operating databases at scale including query optimization, replication, and failover.
  • Strong programming skills (Typescript, Python, Go, or similar) with experience building automation and tooling.
  • Able to diagnose complex distributed systems issues under pressure and communicate clearly during incidents.
  • Collaborative, low-ego attitude and desire to work in a fast-paced environment.
