Senior Site Reliability Engineer - Data Pipeline

And we're building all of that on the intelligence of a single AI engine — Loomi AI — so that personalization isn't only autonomous…it's also consistent.From retail to financial services, hospitality to gaming, businesses use Bloomreach to drive higher growth and lasting loyalty. We power personalization for more than 1,400 global brands, including American Eagle, Sonepar, and Pandora.

The Data Pipeline team is a backend-focused engineering team that is built on strong DevOps principles. We believe in autonomy, and we trust data. As the team grows we need to support it by onboarding another DevOps/SRE to pair with our existing one to form an effective duo helping the team to accelerate. We work remotely first, but we are more than happy to meet you in our nice office in Bratislava, Brno or Prague. And if you are interested in who will be your engineering manager, check out Vaclav's Linkedin.
