Our carefully curated catalog, with over 40 000 tracks and 90 000 sound effects, is tailored for storytellers, streaming services, and in-store soundtracks. Countless clients around the world, from broadcasters, production companies, DSPs, and YouTubers rely on our tracks to help them tell their stories. Epidemic Sound’s music is heard in hundreds of millions of online videos daily, across millions of playlist streams, and in thousands of in-store locations. Headquartered in Stockholm, we’re spread across offices in New York City, Los Angeles, Seoul, Hamburg, and Amsterdam. We’re growing fast, have lots of fun, and are taking the music industry with us.

We are now looking for a Site Reliability Engineer with a strong focus on containerization (GKE) to join our dynamic SRE team. In this role, you will help drive best practices in running Kubernetes, networking, building Kubernetes controllers, and designing infrastructure at scale.

How you will make an impact

- Manage, build and optimize Kubernetes environments and controllers.

- Design infrastructure at scale, addressing performance, resilience, and observability needs.

- Collaborate closely with product development teams to ensure reliability requirements are met when building new features and services.

- Develop and share best practices for Kubernetes and container management.

- Embrace teamwork through practices like code reviews, pair programming, and mob programming.

- Engage in continuous learning through hack-days, courses, conferences, and tech-talks, and share your knowledge with your colleagues.

We believe that to succeed in this role, you have experience in:

- Strong understanding of SRE as an engineering practice.

- Solid understanding of modern web architectures, system design, and software engineering principles, with the ability to apply them in designing scalable and robust solutions.

- Proficiency in Kubernetes, ideally at cluster provisioning level and managing global GKE clusters at scale.

- Experience writing Kubernetes controllers.

- Proficiency in designing and operating Cloud Infrastructure at scale.

- Strong programming skills in at least one language (Python / Go).

- Familiarity with Unix/Linux operating systems and internals.

- Experience mentoring and supporting colleagues and engineering teams.

- Running API Gateways and Service Mesh inside of Kubernetes.

- Track record of building great products with a focus on technology choices that serve user needs.

It would also be music to our ears if you have experience with:

- Google Cloud Platform.

- Service Mesh, ideally eBPF Cilium.

- Networking
