Job Description

Site Reliability Engineer (SRE)

Remote (UK)

£85,000 - £105,000 (DoE)


We're a growing FinTech scale-up and we're on the lookout for an experienced Site Reliability Engineer to join our remote-first engineering team. Things are moving fast here, and as we continue to grow; reliability, automation, and scalability have never been more important to us.


You will be our first SRE so a strong background in implementing SRE best practices would be Ideal. You will know what good looks like and strive to continuously improve automation, availability and resilience.


This is a fully remote role (UK-based) working with geographically diverse teams - previous experience of working independently and collaborating remotely is imperative.


What you'll be doing:


  • Helping to ensure our systems are reliable, scalable, and observable as we grow.
  • Working closely with product and platform teams to build out infrastructure and tooling using AWS, Terraform, Docker, and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Supporting and evolving our container-based architecture (we use ECS and Fargate).
  • Driving SRE best practices: SLIs/SLOs, error budgets, reducing toil, and improving observability.
  • Using (and hopefully enjoying!) tools like Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, and Nix to support your work.


What we're looking for:

  • Strong experience with AWS, Terraform, Docker, and container orchestration (ECS/Fargate).
  • Good understanding of CI/CD pipelines and DevOps workflows.
  • Solid grasp of SRE principles - SLIs, SLOs, error budgets, observability, etc.
  • Familiarity with Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, or similar tools.
  • Experience with Nix is a plus (or curiosity to learn it).
  • Bonus if you've worked with Azure, GCP, or have experience across cloud platforms.


A bit about us:

We're building smart, modern financial tools and we're doing it with a sharp, motivated team who care about quality and reliability. You'll be joining at a time where you can really help shape how we scale our systems and grow our engineering culture.


If that sounds interesting, drop us a message or apply now! - I'd love to hear from you.
