Site Reliability Engineer (SRE)

About MantisNet:

Mantis Networks (MantisNet) is on the forefront of developing intelligent, streaming network visibility solutions that simplify the process of accessing and extracting real-time communications data for solving some of the most challenging problems faced by SecOps, DevOps, and NetOps. Our engineering culture will benefit from a pragmatic approach, honest discussions, and an opinionated bias to simplify the complexities in modern network observability.

Engineering Overview:

The Engineering team has developed the Containerized Visibility Fabric (CVF) with eBPF at its core to deliver kernel-based, event-driven metadata to Mobile Network Operators (MNO) and help them realize the 5G promise of low latency/high speed connectivity. The CVF currently provides topology of ephemeral resources, cloud native packet capture, encrypted session visibility and protocol metadata generation of the full stack of 5G protocols. Visibility in micros-services based architectures require day zero instrumentation and Communication Service Providers (CSP) providers and ecosystem members need end-to-end observability (O/RAN, MEC, Core) of the 5G mobile network.

The Opportunity:

As an SRE you will be part of the engineering team to automate and monitor CVF deployments, improving CI/CD practices and contributing to the codebase.

The SRE will be responsible for working closely with a variety of MantisNet customers on disaggregated scalable architecture with an eye towards PoC deployments to CSP’s and be responsible for developing automation tools and processes for network testing, monitoring and data collection to improve network reliability and availability.

You will:

• Implement strategies to optimize the network Life Cycle Management (LCM) to maximize service reliability
• Measure and improve Reliability Metrics (SLO/SLI), implement Observability tools (Monitoring, Logging-Tracing solutions), manage Ops process (Incident, Problem Mgmt) and streamline release management
• Increase network performance through system design reviews, and process improvements
• Implement methods to minimize and eventually eliminate all manual interventions to deploy zero touch software-defined infrastructure (IaC), removing errors and inconsistencies
• Deploy automation tools to operate, monitor, and maintain highly available geo redundant network services in cloud native environments
• Write software to automate API-driven tasks at scale and contribute to the workflow engines
• Assist in building the required tools to configure and update infrastructure and applications using Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) practices and policies
• Implement tools for Configuration Management and automated monitoring of all infrastructure
• Proactively identify potential trouble spots and create mitigation strategies

Your Experience:

• At least 3+ years of experience working in a modern engineering services team where you’ve built and extended an automated CI/CD pipeline
• Relevant experience as SRE would be an added advantage
• Hands on experience with Kubernetes and container deployment
• Familiar with available tools landscape for monitoring and operations such as Ansible, Puppet, Chef, Terraform or another configuration management / orchestration suite
• Experience in writing code using Go or Python
• Knowledge of Linux-OS Internals and administration
• Experience on at least one of the Cloud computing Infrastructure - GCP / Azure / AWS preferred
• Knowledge of PaaS tools such as ELK stack, Kafka, NATS etc.
• Ability to work independently with minimum supervision

Nice to haves:

• You have worked in a startup environment
