Job description

Hands-on Reliability & System Engineering: Design, build, and operate reliable and scalable systems by defining and monitoring SLOs/SLIs, working directly on production infrastructure, and collaborating closely with software engineers on system design and reliability improvements. Automation, Operations & Incident Response: Actively develop automation for infrastructure and operational workflows to eliminate toil and reduce MTTR, participate in and lead incident response, and drive blameless post-incident reviews with concrete follow-ups implemented in code and tooling. Performance, Capacity & Security: Continuously analyze and optimize system performance and cost, provide data, insights, and recommendations to inform capacity planning, and support security best practices through hands-on vulnerability remediation and threat mitigation.

Requirements

SRE & Cloud Engineering: Hands-on experience with SRE practices in production, strong AWS expertise, Kubernetes, networking, DNS, and Infrastructure as Code (Pulumi preferred, Terraform a plus). Automation & Software Engineering: Demonstrate strong software engineering fundamentals with an emphasis on code quality and maintainability. This includes solid Python proficiency and deep knowledge of the Python ecosystem (testing, debugging, packaging) and a consistent focus on writing clean, well-structured, and maintainable code. Reliability, Data & Operations: Add stakeholder engagement and mentoring, e.g., lead incident response and RCAs, improve system reliability, and engage stakeholders to propose solutions, share learnings, and mentor others. Nice-to-Have Regulated Environments & Security: Experience operating in highly regulated industries (e.g., Insurance, Banking, Healthcare), managing sensitive data, and supporting secure networking setups, including exposure to security technologies such as Cloudflare. Distributed Systems & Microservices: Strong understanding of microservices architectures, their principles and trade-offs, with the ability to troubleshoot and maintain distributed systems and supporting technologies (RabbitMQ, Kafka, PostgreSQL, Redis). Observability, Data and MLOps: Hands-on experience with Datadog for platform and application monitoring, performance optimisation, and solid fundamentals in database structures and operational troubleshooting. Hands-on experience with PySpark and familiarity with MLOps practices including model registries, versioning, retraining workflows, and deployment lifecycles.
