## About this future role

This role is not currently open. We keep this page to show the reliability work we may hire for later, and we accept applications now for a future hiring round.

When this role opens, the site reliability engineer will lead reliability across Fluxer's platform. You'll shape how we measure availability and performance, and you'll build the observability and incident response practices that help us ship quickly without trading away stability.

Fluxer powers real-time messaging, voice, and video for a growing user base. Our stack includes TypeScript services, actor-model concurrency for connection handling and message routing, relational and wide-column databases, caching layers, and media infrastructure. Everything is [open source](https://github.com/fluxerapp/fluxer). Your job is to keep this platform predictable, resilient, and easy to operate.

## What you'll do

- Define service reliability targets, error budgets, and capacity plans
- Build and maintain observability infrastructure (metrics, logging, tracing, and alerting)
- Improve incident response runbooks, on-call workflows, and escalation paths
- Investigate and resolve performance bottlenecks across the stack
- Automate repetitive operational work and reliability checks
- Partner with product engineers to include reliability reviews in new features
- Lead post-incident reviews and make sure follow-up actions are completed

## What we're looking for

- **3+ years'** experience in SRE, platform engineering, or production operations
- Strong understanding of **distributed systems** and common failure modes
- Experience building **monitoring and alerting** pipelines
- Proficiency with at least one programming language for automation and tooling
- Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills under pressure
- Experience with **Linux systems**, networking, and container infrastructure

## Nice to have

- Experience running **actor-model systems** or other concurrency-focused runtimes in production
- Familiarity with **distributed tracing** and observability standards
- Experience with **wide-column databases** at scale
- Background in real-time communication infrastructure (WebSocket, WebRTC, media servers)
- On-call experience with structured incident management
