你将负责的问题
Imunify360 是一个多层次的 Linux 服务器安全套件 —— WAF、IDS/IPS、恶意软件扫描与清理、主动防御、补丁管理、声誉检测 —— 作为代理运行在数十万台客户服务器上,由我们自己的裸机云环境中的扫描、关联和签名分发服务支持。目前大约有 70 个组件没有定义服务级别指标。其中一些是内部服务,我们可以抓取数据。许多是代理端子系统,运行在我们不拥有的机器上,通过我们为其他目的设计的心跳机制进行报告。有监控,有仪表盘,但没有对“这个组件现在是否正常工作,以及如何知道它停止了?”这个问题的统一答案。我们知道这个差距的成本,因为我们最近为此付出了代价:在一个大型服务器群中,安全控制被静默禁用长达 61 天。每个仪表盘都是绿色的。遥测数据报告了规则集版本,但没有说明消耗该规则集的控制是否已启用,因此配置更改与更新程序故障无法区分。三个独立的安全机制存在,而这三个机制都依赖于导致故障的相同条件。
你的任务是让这类故障在数小时内而不是数月内被发现,覆盖整个产品线,并构建一个系统,随着产品变化持续保持可检测性。
这是一个在现有系统中开展的新项目。你不会继承 SRE 团队、SLO 框架或轮班文化。你将与工程负责人一起定义这些内容,然后确保它们得到执行。
你将做的事情
1. 为约 70 个组件定义“正常工作”的含义
与小组负责人和高级工程师一起制定 SLI 定义。你负责推动并维持标准;负责小组签署 SLI。构建该产品实际需要的分类体系,这比可用性和延迟更广泛:
服务 SLI —— 云服务的可用性、延迟、错误率。
集群 SLI —— 心跳可达性、安装基础中的版本和配置收敛。
控制有效性 SLI —— 差异化指标。有多少受保护单元的有效控制已启用且最新,而不仅仅是已安装。规则集生成偏差、签名年龄、扫描覆盖率、执行模式分布。
交付 SLI —— 构件发布成功率、规则到集群的延迟时间、热修复收敛时间。
管道 SLI —— 数据摄入延迟、判断延迟、队列年龄、积压量。

The problem you'd ownImunify360 is a multi-layer Linux server security suite — WAF, IDS/IPS, malware scanning and cleanup, proactive defence, patch management, reputation — running as an agent on hundreds of thousands of customer servers, backed by a cloud estate of scanning, correlation and signature-delivery services on our own bare metal.Roughly 70 components currently ship without a defined service level indicator. Some are internal services we can scrape. Many are agent-side subsystems running on machines we do not own, reporting through a heartbeat we designed for something else. There is monitoring, and there are dashboards, and there is no coherent answer to the question "is this component doing its job right now, and how would we know if it stopped?".We know the cost of that gap precisely, because we recently paid it: a security control was silently disabled across a large fraction of the fleet for 61 days. Every dashboard was green. The telemetry reported a ruleset version but not whether the control that consumed it was switched on, so a configuration change was indistinguishable from a broken updater. Three independent safety mechanisms existed and all three were gated behind the same condition that caused the failure.Your job is to make that class of failure detectable in hours instead of months, across the whole product line, and to build the system that keeps it detectable as the product changes.This is a greenfield charter inside a brownfield estate. You are not inheriting an SRE team, an SLO framework or a paging culture. You are defining them, with the engineering leads, and then making them stick.What you'll do1. Define what "working" means for ~70 componentsRun SLI definition with squad leads and senior engineers. You facilitate and hold the standard; the owning squad signs the SLI. Build the taxonomy this product actually needs, which is broader than availability and latency:Service SLIs — availability, latency, error rate for cloud-side services.Fleet SLIs — heartbeat reachability, version and configuration convergence across the installed base.Control-efficacy SLIs — the differentiator. What fraction of protected units have the control effectively enabled and current , not merely installed. Ruleset generation drift, signature age, scan coverage, enforcement-mode distribution.Delivery SLIs — artifact publish success, rule-to-fleet lead time, hotfix time-to-convergence.Pipeline SLIs — ingest lag, verdict latency, queue age, backlog burn.Enforce one non-negotiable design rule: an SLI must be measurable from outside the gate of the thing it measures. If the control being off also switches off the signal that would tell you it is off, the SLI is invalid. This is the lesson of the incident above and it is the reason this role exists.Attach an SLO, an error budget and an owning squad to each. Tiering is expected — not every component earns a 99.9% target or a pager.2. Build the collection systemDesign and build the pipeline that gets these indicators off the fleet and into a queryable store: push-based, sampled, privacy-constrained, and with a cardinality budget you set and defend.Extend agent-side and service-side instrumentation where the signal does not exist yet, in Python, Go and Rust, working with the owning squads.Consolidate the current sprawl of dashboards, ad-hoc queries and reporting paths into a defensible set of instruments, and retire what does not earn its keep.3. Build alerting and alert managementSymptom-based, SLO-anchored alerting with multi-window burn-rate semantics. Not threshold soup.A three-tier taxonomy — page / ticket / dashboard — with an explicit rule for what is allowed to page a human at 03:00.Every alert ships with an owner, a runbook and a documented failure mode, or it does not ship.Alert hygiene as a standing practice: quarterly review, deletion counted as a win, actionable-rate tracked. A persistent inability to perform a security-relevant refresh should page. It currently logs a warning.4. Build escalationComponent → owning squad ownership map, kept current, machine-readable, and wired into routing so an alert reaches the right seven people rather than a shared channel.Severity matrix, acknowledgement SLAs, follow-the-sun rota design across UTC−5 … UTC+8, and clean handoff protocol.Incident command practice and blameless postmortems within 24 hours. We already do postmortems and do them honestly, including publicly retracting our own wrong findings; you raise the floor on the mechanical parts — timelines, ownership, action-item follow-through.Design the escalation system so that squads carry their own pagers. You build and operate the platform and coach on the practice; you are not the buffer that absorbs everyone else's alerts.RequirementsWhat you'll bringRequired (Must-haves): Substantial production-engineering or SRE experience, including at least one environment where you defined the SLO framework rather than inherited it. We will ask you to walk through SLIs you personally wrote and how you negotiated them with resistant teams.Strong Python. Comfortable reading and modifying Go or Rust — our agents are written in them and instrumentation lands there.Deep practical grip on time-series and event telemetry at scale: Prometheus/OpenMetrics, Grafana, an Alertmanager-class routing layer, and a columnar store for high-cardinality fleet data (ClickHouse or equivalent).Distributed systems debugging on bare metal and long-lived hosts. Most of this estate is not Kubernetes, and the reflexes that assume an orchestrator will not transfer cleanly.Configuration management and CI at production scale — Ansible, GitLab CI, Jenkins or close equivalents.The judgement to design measurement for machines you do not own and cannot scrape: push telemetry, sampling, clock skew, partial reporting, and the privacy constraints that come with running on a customer's server.Written communication that holds up async. This role is 40% telemetry engineering and 40% getting sixty engineers to agree on what "healthy" means; the remaining 20% is refusing to let the answer be a dashboard nobody reads.Valuable (Nice-to-haves):Security product background — WAF, EDR, AV, vulnerability management — and the instinct that a security control's SLI is about enforcement, not uptime.Monitoring under audit: SOC 2 CC7.x, ISO 27001 A.8.16, NIST SP 800-137 continuous monitoring. Some of this work is audit evidence and it helps if you have written for that audience.OpenTelemetry, eBPF, Sentry.Cost- and cardinality-aware telemetry design.Fluency with agentic development tooling — we run a Cursor/Claude-first SDLC with internal and third-party MCP servers, and engineers here are assessed on how well they work with it.Kubernetes, for the one workload that is on it.Not this roleNot a DevOps ticket queue, not build-system ownership, not cloud cost management, not the on-call rota for other squads' services.First year, in outcomes30 days: Component inventory with named owners. SLI taxonomy and tiering agreed. 3 pilot components fully instrumented end to end as the reference implementation.90 days: Collection pipeline in production. Tier-1 components (the ones whose failure is a customer security exposure) carry SLO, alert, runbook, owner. Escalation routing live for tier-1.180 days: All ~70 components have a defined SLI and an owner. Alert taxonomy enforced; page volume and actionable-rate measured and published. Squad on-call operating.365 days: Mean time to detect a silent control-degradation is under 24 hours, measured, against a 61-day baseline. Error-budget policy influences release decisions. The function is documented well enough that hire #2 and #3 are additive, not archaeological.How we workRemote-first and async across nine time zones. Weekly PO sync and architecture sync; monthly demo and OKR review; quarterly architecture summit. Decisions land as ADRs. Every output carries an owner and a due date. Postmortems are blameless and published, and we correct ourselves on the record when we get something wrong.BenefitsWhat's in it for you?A strong focus on professional development with opportunities for learning and growth:Interesting and challenging projects,Mentor and other knowledge-exchange programs;Fully remote work with flexible working hours, that allows you to schedule your day and work from any location worldwide;Paid 24 days of vacation per year, 10 days of national holidays, and unlimited sick leaves to ensure you maintain a healthy work-life balance;Compensation for private medical insurance;Co-working and gym/sports reimbursement;The opportunity to receive a reward for the most innovative idea that the company can patent, fostering a culture of creativity and innovation.By applying for this position, you consent to the processing of your personal data as described in our Privacy Policy (https://cloudlinux.com/candidate-privacy-notice), which provides detailed information on how we maintain and handle your data.
