Hello, my name is xx and I am working on the platform team in xx. My current main project is to migrate our Go proxy component from our own orchestration platform to the Kubernetes (you know this well) platform. You can see what else I have been working on in the attached resume. The goal of this cover letter is to let you know my passion so that you know me more.
I am familiar with most of the technologies you use, besides Ansible. In my previous job, we figured out that most of our ansible tasks could be replaced with Terraform/Terragrunt, so I would love to learn the power of Ansible. The most rewarding things for me during my work have been resolving scalable and reliable issues. To get there, I think observability is essential. Besides setting up logs, metrics and traces you can see I had experience setting up production application profiling. Those are the things that I am passionate about and familiar with. Of course, in Elastic we use Elasticsearch, Logstash and Kibana as opposed to Grafana stacks.
I am bad with time management when it comes to incidents that could impact customers or other stakeholders. I took incidents personally and I take pride in the uptime our platform can provide. Not to say this is something we should encourage, but I will spend most of my time working relentlessly during the incident.
If you see there is a potential fit for your SRE role I would like to talk more but for this, I will keep it short and sweet.
