About the role
We’re looking for our next Site Reliability Engineer to join our Security and Infrastructure Team in Spain. The right person will help us create the best possible product for teachers and empower them to engage their students with videos. If you’re a self-starter who’s eager to contribute to the education sector, you’ll feel right at home with us.
As an SRE, you’ll dive into ensuring our system’s reliability, scalability, and maintainability, handling everything from our cloud infrastructure to in-depth observability and comprehensive monitoring. By working closely with our DevOps and Engineering teams, you’ll design resilient systems, manage incidents effectively, and champion best practices for observability and incident response.
Technically speaking, we are hosted on AWS and use CDK with JavaScript for the Infrastructure as Code. Our product is written in React and Redux for the frontend and Node and Express applying DDD and hexagonal architecture in the backend. We use MongoDB and OpenSearch for our database, and we have our own encoding and streaming system. We work with testing, trunk based development, CI/CD on GitHub Actions, and follow best practices making sure we never compromise on code quality and reliability. On the observability side, we monitor everything using CloudWatch and Datadog.
About our team
We are a product-focused team. Our methodologies foster close partnerships between Engineering, Product, Infrastructure, and other key areas (Design, Data, QA, Security, etc.). Everyone is encouraged to share their ideas and opinions, take initiative, and be resourceful when coming up with creative solutions that elevate the experience for our users.
At our core is an environment where every voice is heard and valued, and each team member plays a role in shaping project strategy and designing technical solutions. We embrace proactiveness and curiosity to understand the bigger picture. Engineers are not just encouraged but expected to think critically, propose solutions, and take ownership. We’ve built a culture where ideas are shared openly, challenges are tackled head-on, and assumptions are questioned to drive continuous improvement.
