THE ROLE & THE SRE TEAM

At Zattoo, we’re building the TV platform of the future.

With our ever-growing demand for unicast TV delivery, we’re scaling out our custom-built infrastructure to deliver live and on-demand video at multi-Tbps scale.

As a Site Reliability Engineer, you’ll be at the heart of this mission.

You’ll help us scale, optimize, and secure our systems while ensuring that our services run with maximum performance and reliability.

From improving our monitoring and alerting, to building tools for 24/7 operations, to working hand-in-hand with backend and SRE/Ops teams - your impact will be felt across the entire platform.

• Propose and implement improvements across platforms, infrastructure, tooling, and processes.


• Collaborate with engineers to help them design and run performant, scalable, and reliable systems.


• Champion stability and security by identifying weak spots, raising awareness, and developing mitigation strategies.


• Participate in the on-call rotation to respond to incidents and maintain service reliability.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

• 2+ years of hands-on experience in a Site Reliability Engineering, DevOps, or Operations role, ideally operating large-scale distributed systems.


• Strong Kubernetes experience (preferably on-premise clusters).


• Strong experience operating both containerized environments (e.g. Docker, LXC, Kubernetes) and virtualized systems (VMs)


• Good experience with configuration management and infrastructure automation (like Puppet or Ansible).


• Good understanding of telemetry, observability and monitoring practices (metrics, tracing, logging)


• Hands-on experience with ArgoCD and progressive delivery strategies (e.g., Argo Rollouts) in a GitOps environment.


• Strong communication skills and ability to work effectively with distributed, multidisciplinary teams and external partners.


• Fluent English (written and spoken).
