The Site Reliability Engineer Role

As a Site Reliability Engineer at Qlik, you’ll sit at the heart of our cloud ecosystem, helping power the reliability, security, and scalability of Qlik and Talend Cloud services used around the world.

This is your opportunity to work on systems operating at serious scale — supporting millions of transactions across a global cloud environment — while shaping how reliability engineering is done across the business.

If you’re motivated by complex distributed systems, Kubernetes at scale, and solving meaningful engineering challenges, this is where you’ll thrive.

Solve real scale challenges – Work on reliability and performance across a global cloud platform handling millions of transactions.

Engineer, not just operate – Build tooling, automation, alerts, and scalable infrastructure patterns that prevent problems before they happen.

Collaborate with highly skilled teams – Partner with Global SRE, Architecture, Platform, and Domain Engineering teams to influence how infrastructure is designed from the ground up.

Work with modern cloud-native technologies – Kubernetes, IaC, observability tooling, autoscaling, secret management, CI/CD — you’ll be hands-on with today’s most relevant technologies.

Shape best practices – Help define and champion cloud optimization and reliability standards across the organization.

Grow your technical influence – Act as a go-to resource for reliability, incident management, cloud engineering, and production operations.

If you enjoy working on systems that demand thoughtful engineering — not quick fixes — you’ll find this role deeply rewarding.

Your work will directly influence the stability and performance of services relied on by customers worldwide.

Increase reliability and availability by implementing resilient infrastructure patterns and performance optimizations.

Reduce incidents and recovery time through better observability, automation, and proactive engineering.

Improve cloud efficiency by driving optimization best practices across AWS and Azure environments.

Resolve complex system challenges across infrastructure, networking, applications, and distributed systems.

On-Call Support: Participate in on-call duties to maintain the availability and performance of our cloud infrastructure, providing regular updates on project status and activities. Elevate engineering standards by mentoring peers and embedding reliability-first thinking into development workflows.

Your impact won’t just be technical — it will influence how teams build, ship, and operate software at scale.

Cloud engineering skill across AWS and/or Azure, including hands-on experience supporting production systems running on Kubernetes at scale.

Automation and engineering mindset, with proficiency in Python, Go or Bash, plus experience building and improving CI/CD pipelines and autoscaling strategies.

Security and networking knowledge, including secret management (e.g., Vault, AWS SSM) and familiarity with infrastructure security and compliance best practices.

Cloud-native tooling experience, including Helm (managing and creating charts) and exposure to modern database and ecosystem technologies such as MongoDB.

Strong analytical thinking, with the ability to troubleshoot complex issues across infrastructure, networking, and application layers.

a passion for learning, sharing ideas and insight and comfort with the on-call support rotation – experience here is also welcome.
