As a Site Reliability Engineer at Skillshare, you’ll play a key role in balancing our current operations with building for the future. We’re scaling quickly and are excited to bring someone on board who can help us continue to grow, improve, and mature our technical infrastructure.


This role is an exciting blend of both infrastructure, internal developer tools, and operations, which means opportunity for impact across the board. We’ll look to your strategic expertise, reliable execution, and sound judgment to improve and maintain our infrastructure, along with creating increasingly smooth processes for our engineers as we grow the business.


You’ll be joining a team that’s passionate about technology, and helping pave the way for building products together that we’re proud of. We’re excited to meet you.

What you'll do:

  • Work with product engineers to improve observability and operability of their production systems
  • Improve, monitor and maintain our infrastructure
  • Ensure site uptime and performance
  • Work with engineers to improve tooling and infrastructure for automated testing, continuous integration and deployment.
  • Proactively prep and train developers on best practices 
  • Make strategic improvements to our application and infrastructure security

What you'll need to be successful:

  • Experience building, deploying, and operating production software using continuous delivery
  • A strong sense of ownership and responsibility
  • Experience building and supporting cloud-based web infrastructure with AWS
  • Docker experience (Kubernetes experience is a plus)
  • Relational databases and queueing systems knowledge (we use MySQL, Redshift, Redis)
  • Experience with application monitoring and alerting systems (we use Datadog)
  • Understanding of web infrastructure: load balancing, high availability configurations, disaster recovery, DNS configuration, security best practices, etc.
  • Comfortable writing, testing, and deploying Node.js applications (bonus for PHP) 
  • Strong communication skills – you’re a natural collaborator and can report out to stakeholders of all levels
  • Ability to balance strategy and execution

Why you're excited about us:

  • Impact: you’ll play a key role in shaping the direction of our infrastructure and developer processes long-term.
  • Growth: Our team is small, so you’ll have room to wear a lot of hats and take on more responsibility over time.
  • Our mission: We’re doing work that matters – connecting lifelong learners around the world and empowering them to pursue their creativity.
  • Flexibility: We believe that doing your best work means living a full life. That means different things for everyone, so we optimize for trust, invest to support remote teams, have an unlimited vacation policy (with a required minimum!), and encourage work-life balance.
