Job Description
Responsibilities
  • Participate in on call and incident response: Respond to production incidents, contribute to service restoration, and support clear communication during incidents. Over time, take increasing responsibility for leading incidents end to end.
  • Improve operational reliability: Identify recurring issues and reliability risks, and drive fixes through better alerting, automation, system changes, or process improvements.
  • Own parts of the production environment: Operate and improve Kubernetes clusters, cloud infrastructure, and core platform services, with growing ownership as familiarity increases.
  • Strengthen observability: Improve dashboards, alerts, logs, and traces so issues are detected earlier and diagnosed faster, with a strong focus on actionable signals.
  • Reduce operational toil: Automate repetitive tasks, simplify runbooks, and improve tooling to make on call and day to day operations easier and safer.
  • Support safe change: Improve deployments, rollback mechanisms, and operational readiness to reduce the risk of incidents caused by change.
  • Contribute to operational practices: Write and maintain runbooks, participate in blameless post mortems, and help improve incident response processes over time.
  • Collaborate closely with engineers: Work with product and feature teams to improve production readiness, service ownership, and reliability expectations.
Requirements
  • 3-6+ years in SRE, DevOps, Platform, or operations heavy engineering roles.
  • Experience supporting production systems and participating in on call rotations.
  • Comfortable debugging live systems under pressure.
  • Experience operating cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred).
  • Working knowledge of Kubernetes and containerised workloads.
  • Infrastructure as Code experience (Terraform or similar).
  • Familiarity with monitoring and alerting tools (Datadog, Prometheus, etc).
  • Scripting or automation experience (Python, Bash, or similar).
