About the Role

In this role, you will build expertise in operating containerized microservices on Kubernetes. You will be part of a team of engineers focused on ensuring platform readiness and support microservices written in multiple languages (e.g. Java, Ruby, Node). You will work with application owners to understand their needs and define requirements for their operation in the cloud platform. This role involves working with cutting-edge technology and solving challenging technical problems. The platform capabilities we are building will be used by every engineering team at Groupon, and this is your chance to influence how microservices are developed and deployed on a company-wide scale.

- Monitoring, Metrics, and Logging: Implement comprehensive monitoring and logging solutions using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack, etc. Set up alerting mechanisms to proactively address issues.
- Auto Scaling: Configure auto-scaling policies to manage load and ensure high availability. Monitor scaling events and optimize resource utilization.
- Cost Optimization: Analyze and optimize cloud infrastructure costs without compromising performance and reliability. Implement cost-saving measures and resource management strategies.
- Security: Ensure cloud infrastructure security by implementing best practices and compliance measures. Conduct regular security assessments and vulnerability scans.
- Scalability & High Availability: Design and implement highly scalable and available cloud architectures. Ensure disaster recovery and backup strategies are in place and tested regularly.
