Job description
from Hopper careersAbout the job
We are looking for a senior site reliability engineer to join the Cloud FinOps team at Hopper. We manage a large infrastructure in Google Cloud that is used by hundreds of engineers to provide a first class experience to millions of end users around the world.
You are passionate about automating everything possible and ensuring systems remain optimized.
You also like the infrastructure to be as scalable, reliable, secure, and optimized as possible.
You like to solve problems in a practical way, building solutions that are simple, reliable, cost-effective, and easy to use.
What would your day-to-day look like
Work on projects that will drive a higher cost efficiency, such as:
Reduce our network egress costs by removing unnecessary headers.
Ensure that our warehouse data is in use and select the most efficient storage for it. E.g., cold storage for buckets with infrequent retrieval.
Ensure that autoscaling for both databases and compute is well optimized.
Work on improving the current cost attribution to ensure all teams have clear visibility into their costs.
