About the opportunity
We are seeking a Site Reliability Engineer to join the Observability group inside our Platform Engineering domain.
Platform Engineerings goal is to provide easy to use, self-service platforms to enable other segments to easily build, deploy and monitor their business applications. And Observabilitys role in that part of the company is to provide our users with end-to-end observability thats easy to use.
As one of the first banks completely hosted in the cloud, our security, resilience and productivity standards require a motivated and well balanced team. We are using a modern technology stack to match our principles when it comes to providing the framework for our development team, the company and our customers.
Who we are
N26 has reimagined banking for todays digital world. Technology and design empower
everything we do
and its how we are building the global banking platform the world loves to use.
Weve eliminated physical branches, paperwork, and hidden fees for an elegant digital experience and supreme savings. Giving people the power to live and bank their way is what gets us out of bed in the morning and inspires the work that we do.
We are headquartered in Berlin with offices in multiple cities across Europe, including Vienna and Barcelona, and a 1,500-strong team of more than 80 nationalities.
In Observability youll build the tools for monitoring and measuring infrastructure, microservices, and sometimes totally unique workloads. Youll put the developer experience at the front of your mind and implementations, and youll contribute deeply to understanding and preventing incidents through tooling, automation, and people-centered processes. All the while youll be thinking like an engineer. That means using automation to speed up repetitive tasks and to contribute to the security and compliance of the tech stack that you run and support.
You need to be well-versed in the basics building blocks of observability: metrics, logs, and traces. You should also be familiar with the tools we need to extract (think things like Prometheus, StatsD, OpenTelemetry libraries), transform (tools like Vector, Beats, FluentBit), and load (OpenSearch, Grafana, etc.) this data in ways that your fellow engineers can make sense of it. Then, you should be comfortable with helping your colleagues understand this data so they can measure and monitor their applications and recover quickly for incidents..
Next, youll need experience with at least one glue language like GoLang or Python. And youll need to operate like your brain runs on Linux. Everything we do is in the cloud, so its important that you like it, understand it, and know what it takes to observe it. Your entire environment, from provisioning to deployment, will be defined and managed as code using tools like Terraform and AWS CDK.
Finally, things change fast here. We like it that way! Even if you dont meet 100% of the criteria for this job, but you should have a strong desire to learn and improve, and you have a passion for working with bleeding-edge technologies, then youd be a great asset to our team.
