  • Act as a senior escalation point for platform and infrastructure-related production incidents, contributing to resolution and meaningful post-mortems.

Qualifications

  • Deep expertise and experience in AWS, Kubernetes and strong Terraform, with the ability to debug complex production issues beyond the application layer.
  • Proven experience owning and delivering technical initiatives end-to-end in a production environment, supporting multiple B2B product engineering teams.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively across engineering and support teams.
  • A high level of ownership, accountability, and alignment to business outcomes.
  • A platform-as-a-product mindset, with a focus on reliability, developer enablement, and continuous improvement.
  • Engineering optimisation awareness - designing for performance and scale while understanding cost implications.
  • Excellent β€œbedside manner” - strong interpersonal skills and demonstrable ability to clearly communicate complex technical topics.
  • Some knowledge or experience of adtech, digital advertising or martech is a plus.

Requirements

  • Our tech stack includes (but it is not limited to): AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, Argo CD, Grafana & monitoring tooling, Kafka, Golang, GitHub Actions.

Benefits

  • Making a real-world impact on half a billion users every month.

  • Joining a team that values curiosity, creativity, and continuous learning.
  • Being part of the #SAFam, a supportive, inclusive, and diverse community.
