Senior Site Reliability Engineer

Salary Competitive

Your Mission

Your mission is to make reliability feel invisible — and impact unmistakable.

This is not a traditional “keep-the-lights-on” SRE role. This is about owning reliability at scale in a fast-growing, global SaaS company, where product velocity, security, and compliance all matter deeply.

You’ll help ensure our platform is always available, secure, and ready to grow, enabling product teams to move fast without breaking trust, resilience, or sleep. You’ll turn complexity into clarity, automation into confidence, and incidents into learning.

If you’re motivated by ownership, systems thinking, and the chance to build foundations that truly matter, you’ll feel right at home.

Your Role

As a (Senior) Site Reliability Engineer, you are a core member of our SRE team and sit at the heart of Hoxhunt’s engineering ecosystem.

You work closely with product engineering, security, and platform teams to design and operate cloud infrastructure that is resilient by default and scalable by design. You won’t just respond to incidents — you’ll help prevent them, and ensure we learn when they happen.

Our daily work is guided by three core principles:

  • Hungry for feedback

  • Courage to take initiative

  • We succeed together

What You’ll Do

  • Design, build, and maintain scalable, reliable cloud infrastructure on Google Cloud Platform

  • Own and evolve our Kubernetes-based development and production environments

  • Develop and improve CI/CD pipelines that enable fast, safe, and repeatable deployments

  • Build and operate modern observability practices (monitoring, alerting, logging, incident response)

  • Proactively identify reliability risks and drive improvements before incidents happen

  • Expand and optimize global production deployments in a complex compliance environment

  • Automate manual and repetitive processes to reduce toil and human error

  • Ensure security, resilience, and compliance are built into everything we deploy

  • Mentor engineers and teams on SRE and DevOps best practices

  • Contribute to a strong DevOps culture where ownership and collaboration are the default

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who takes ownership naturally, thinks in systems, and cares deeply about enabling others to move fast safely.

Must-have experience & mindset:

  • 5+ years of experience in SRE, DevOps, or similar infrastructure-focused roles

  • Hands-on experience with cloud environments (GCP preferred, AWS or Azure also relevant)

  • Strong systems engineering mindset and understanding of distributed systems

  • Proven ability to troubleshoot complex production incidents and drive effective resolutions

  • Experience building, scaling, and maintaining automated infrastructure and workflows

  • Comfortable working cross-functionally and guiding teams toward reliable engineering practices

Must-have technical skills:

  • Kubernetes in production environments

  • Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Helm, Kustomize)

  • Modern CI/CD tooling and cloud-native ecosystems

  • Proficiency in at least one programming language (JavaScript/TypeScript, Go, or Python)

Bonus Points If You Also:

  • Have built or owned observability platforms at scale

  • Have experience operating systems in regulated or compliance-heavy environments

  • Enjoy simplifying complex systems and making them easier for others to operate

  • Have worked in fast-growing scale-up or SaaS environments

  • Care deeply about reliability as a product feature, not just an operational concern

Why Join Hoxhunt?

  • Work with modern technologies at the forefront of cloud-native engineering

  • Enable product teams to ship faster without compromising reliability or security

  • Build infrastructure that protects millions of end users worldwide

  • Join one of the fastest-growing companies in the cybersecurity space

  • We value learning, ownership, and sustainable work-life balance

  • Be part of an ambitious, people-first culture with strong camaraderie

  • Expect a fun, collaborative environment with plenty of laughter along the way

Location and Salary Range

The role is based in our Helsinki HQ. There are no strict on-site requirement, but the SRE team typically spends 2-5 days per week in the office, so consistent availability in Helsinki is preferred.

The salary range for the role is 6500-7500€ / month, depending on experience

Our Recruitment Process

  1. Talent Acquisition screening (30 min)

  2. Meeting your future Team Lead (45 min, onsite or remote)

  3. Take-home assignment related to the role

  4. Assignment review with the team (60 min, onsite or remote)

  5. Reference checks and offer
