Senior Linux Site Reliability Engineer

Location Details: Pune, Maharashtra

At GoDaddy the future of work looks different for each team. Some teams work in the office full-time; others have a hybrid arrangement (they work remotely some days and in the office some days) and some work entirely remotely.​

This is a hybrid position. You’ll divide your time between working remotely from your home and an office, so you should live within commuting distance. Hybrid teams may work in-office as much as a few times a week or as little as once a month or quarter, as decided by leadership. The hiring manager can share more about what hybrid work might look like for this team.

Deliver infrastructure and operational improvement projects end-to-end, while contributing to root cause analysis and continuous improvements

Automate operational tasks and maintain consistent, scalable environments using Bash and configuration management tools

Collaborate with global teams across time zones, managing and communicating work through tools like Jira and Slack

Your experience should include...

6+ years of demonstrated experience in Linux systems administration (e.g., CentOS, AlmaLinux) with strong troubleshooting skills across system performance, logs, services, and root cause analysis

Strong understanding of database systems in Linux environments, including MySQL (or variants) and PostgreSQL, with exposure to NoSQL systems such as Apache Cassandra

Experience supporting infrastructure in on-premises and/or OpenStack-based cloud environments, with the ability to analyse interactions between database behaviour and system performance
