Description

Hi, We’re AppFolio.

We’re innovators, changemakers, and collaborators. We’re more than just a software company — we’re a cloud-based Software company that creates products to make our customers’ lives easier. We’re revolutionizing the way people do business, and we want your ideas, your enthusiasm, and your passion to help us keep on innovating.

We love where we work, and you can, too.

What You’ll Do

You’ll lead the effort to establish SLIs and SLOs for the various services that run AppFolio Property Manager. Along with your team, you’ll ensure each service has a plan to address any shortcomings for exception reporting, capacity planning, monitoring and alerting, backups, runbooks, configuration management, DDoS protection, infrastructure as code, and disaster recovery. You’ll collaborate with engineering teams, helping them to improve the reliability and quality of their services.

What We’re Looking For

We are hiring a Site Reliability Engineer to run and evolve AppFolio Property Manager’s ecosystem of services. You’ll be a key member of the team that provides reliable, scalable infrastructure for key components of AppFolio Property Manager. You’ll help build the future of reliable, critical services, and support rapid and sustainable growth of new features. Lastly, you have strong communication skills and enjoy working on a team that values openness, integrity, and attention to detail.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone with a strong sense of ownership and a passion for building reliable systems.

Must-Haves

  • 4-5 years hands-on experience running production, highly available, distributed, and cloud-based services, preferably in a SaaS environment.
  • Experience developing Service Level Indicators and Service Level Objectives for the above systems.
  • Proven ability to diagnose and monitor performance and reliability issues across the stack: relational databases, web servers, networking, OS, containers, load balancers, etc. You’ll chase down performance problems and uncover root causes of system failures.
  • Strong coding background: you’ve written code to perform critical tasks or in production. The exact language doesn’t matter, though we give bonus points for Go, Ruby, or Python.
  • Experience with some flavor of GNU/Linux. You’re able to manage users, configure networking, and create packages in your distribution of choice.
  • Experience with Amazon Web Services (commonly EC2, Lambda, S3, EBS, Route53, and VPCs…bonus for RDS, WAF, or EKS)
  • Familiarity with Kubernetes or other container orchestration tooling.
  • Expertise with Infrastructure as Code (CloudFormation, Terraform, Pulumi, etc.)
  • Bachelor’s degree and at least 5 years industry experience, or equivalent work experience

Bonus Points For

  • Mastery experience with some areas of our tech like Ruby on Rails, Kubernetes, MySQL, Linux, container orchestration, Networking, etc.
