Site Reliability Engineer - Linux
Location Details: Pune, India
At GoDaddy the future of work looks different for each team. Some teams work in the office full-time; others have a hybrid arrangement (they work remotely some days and in the office some days) and some work entirely remotely.
This is a hybrid position. You’ll divide your time between working remotely from your home and an office, so you should live within commuting distance. Hybrid teams may work in-office as much as a few times a week or as little as once a month or quarter, as decided by leadership. The hiring manager can share more about what hybrid work might look like for this team.

The Linux Database Services team is responsible for operating GoDaddy's on-premise database infrastructure, supporting Percona MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Cassandra. We provide database services for internal applications and support much of GoDaddy's hosting infrastructure.

We are a globally distributed team with members across the EU, North America, South America, and South Asia (India), and we are growing our presence in Pune.
As a Site Reliability Engineer, you will play a key role in keeping our database fleet healthy, performant, and observable.

- Maintain and improve the health of database servers and instances across a large-scale fleet
- Build and enhance telemetry and observability for databases and hosts
- Identify and implement performance improvements across database systems
- Execute and continuously improve patching processes at scale
- Move from day-to-day operational execution toward proactive, engineering-driven improvements over time
- Collaborate with a distributed, international team across multiple time zones
Your experience should include...

- Hands-on administration experience with at least one open-source datastore
- Strong Linux administration skills
- Proficiency in Linux/Bash scripting, plus at least one general-purpose programming language (Golang or Python preferred), with the ability to work in other languages as needed

You might also have...
- Experience with telemetry or observability tooling
- Experience with performance testing and load testing
