Role Description

As a Senior Site Reliability Engineer, you'll join our SRE team based in Europe to ensure our production systems are not only operational but also resilient, scalable, and ready for exponential growth. This isn't just about keeping the lights on; it's about directly contributing to the platform's core resiliency and robustness. You'll be a hands-on builder, crafting solutions that make our system more reliable by design.

• Design and build custom software in Go to enhance the platform's reliability, resiliency, and redundancy.
• Partner with engineering teams to embed reliability principles, improving the availability, performance, and observability of our services.
• Use your deep understanding of infrastructure and observability principles to identify opportunities for improvement within the product and implement solutions.
• Contribute to our follow-the-sun on-call rotation, providing rapid, effective response to critical incidents and using your expertise to troubleshoot, mitigate or accurately escalate production issues.
• Develop and refine our SRE tooling and processes, focusing on automation and operational efficiency.
• Define, document, and champion reliability best practices across the organisation.

• Experience with infrastructure as code (Terraform), container orchestration (Kubernetes, Docker) and GitOps (ArgoCD).
• Demonstrable expertise in a major cloud provider (Azure, AWS, or GCP).
• A strong grasp of microservices architecture, databases (SQL, NoSQL), and networking fundamentals.
• An understanding of core SRE principles, including SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets.
• Experience in an on-call rotation for a 24/7 cloud-based environment.
• Exceptional communication and collaboration skills, with a proven ability to work effectively in a remote, distributed team.

Requirements

• Curious and motivated engineer who's passionate about building reliability directly into the platform.
