[Hiring] Senior Site Reliability Engineer @Lyrebird Health

Role Description

We’re hiring a Senior SRE to own the reliability, scalability, and performance of our production systems as we continue to grow.

At Lyrebird, you won’t just respond to incidents. You’ll design the systems and standards that prevent them. That means:

• Building infrastructure that scales cleanly
• Creating deployment patterns that reduce risk
• Ensuring we can detect and resolve issues before they impact users

This is a broad role that sits across platform engineering, DevOps, and security. You’ll be responsible for:

• Ensuring our systems are resilient under load
• Making systems observable in real time
• Scaling as usage increases

You’ll play a key role in how we get code from a developer’s machine into production safely, and how we operate those systems once they’re live.

Qualifications

• 5–7 years experience in SRE, platform engineering, or DevOps roles
• Strong AWS experience (ECS/Fargate, EC2, Lambda, SQS, IAM)
• Experience running and scaling production systems
• Strong understanding of distributed systems and scaling approaches
• Hands-on experience with Docker and containerised environments
• Experience with Kubernetes or ECS

Requirements

• You take ownership and follow things through
• You’re proactive and comfortable operating with ambiguity
• You stay calm and make good decisions during incidents
• You focus on solving problems end to end
• You’re willing to roll up your sleeves and get into the detail

Benefits

• This is a critical hire for us as we scale.
• If you want real ownership over how systems are designed, deployed, and operated, and the opportunity to build reliability into a product used in high-stakes environments, we’d love to hear from you.
• We’re building a team that reflects the diversity of the people who use our product. If you’re from an underrepresented background in tech, we strongly encourage you to apply, even if you don’t meet every requirement.
