Help build Booking Experts

As a Site Reliability Engineer, you will work on complex issues in the areas of CI/CD, monitoring and security. You will implement scalable hosting via AWS ECS and manage our cloud infrastructure with Terraform. In addition, you will provide insight into performance via New Relic and CloudWatch, giving you a direct impact on the reliability of our platform. You will build internal tooling and ensure continuous improvement by learning from incidents and outages.

A day as a Site Reliability Engineer:

No two days are the same in this role, which makes the work dynamic and varied. Nevertheless, there is a clear structure and rhythm that you can count on. To give you a realistic idea of what to expect, we describe what an average working day looks like below:

08:30 AM | Monitoring & Check: You start the day with a look at the dashboards. Everything is running stable, but you spot a small spike in database load that you want to dig into later in the day.

10:00 AM | Infrastructure as Code: You're working on a new Terraform module to make our S3 buckets even more secure and efficient. You briefly align with a senior developer about the required permissions.

12:00 PM | Shared Lunch: Time to recharge with the team in our modern canteen in Enschede. After a healthy lunch, we take a walk together to kick off the afternoon with a fresh focus.

01:30 PM | CI/CD Optimization: You're extending our Semaphore setup so test pipelines run faster. Every minute saved here directly means more speed for the entire development team.

03:30 PM | Post-Mortem Session: Together with your colleagues, you discuss an incident from yesterday. No finger-pointing, purely looking at: what can we learn, and what automated check can we add to prevent this in the future?

04:30 PM | Tooling & Automation: You wrap up the day by continuing work on an internal script that automates the setup of new test environments. You update your progress in GitHub and look ahead to tomorrow.

As a Site Reliability Engineer, you’ll work on CI/CD, monitoring, and system security.
