Job description
- We're looking for a Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) to help shape and drive how we build and operate reliable, observable, and cost-efficient systems.
- You'll work closely with our development, platform, and incident management teams to define what "reliable" means in measurable terms - and build the tooling and processes to achieve it.
- Your work will directly influence the speed, stability, and scalability of our platform., * Partner with development teams to define and manage SLOs/SLIs, and use error budgets to guide engineering decisions.
- Enhance observability - ensuring metrics, logs, and tracing are in place to detect and fix issues proactively.
- Lead cost optimisation initiatives: monitor spend, rightsize workloads, tune autoscaling, and drive efficient infrastructure usage.
- Strengthen production readiness with pre-deployment checks, post-release validation, and robust platform guardrails.
- Introduce and run chaos engineering experiments to improve system resilience.
- Automate operational processes to reduce manual intervention across the stack.
- Contribute to major incident response, providing engineering expertise.
- Collaborate cross-functionally to raise the bar on platform stability, security, and performance.
Requirements
- 3+ years in SRE, Platform, or DevOps roles.
- Strong operational experience with Kubernetes (on-prem and AWS EKS).
- Proven track record defining and working with SLOs/SLIs in production environments.
- Deep understanding of observability (metrics, logging, tracing, telemetry).
- Experience with Terraform and GitOps workflows.
- Proficient scripting skills in Python, Bash, or Go.
- Demonstrated ability to balance cost efficiency and system reliability.
- Excellent communication skills and ability to work across multiple teams.
Nice-to-Have / Desirable
- Experience running chaos engineering experiments.
- Exposure to high-throughput, low-latency systems.
- Experience with FinOps or cost management practices.
- AWS Certifications (e.g., Solutions Architect, DevOps Engineer).
