Site Reliability Engineer - #2195526

Forget everything you know about a traditional SRE role. This is an opportunity to work on technology operating at an enormous scale, where reliability, performance and engineering have a direct impact on millions of users.

You'll be joining a high performing engineering team responsible for a complex, business critical platform operating around the clock. Reliability and performance are essential. In this role you will approach reliability as a software engineering problem, with 60% of your time spent writing code. You'll be developing internal products, backend services, automation and tooling that make the platform more reliable, scalable and efficient. Working primarily with Python or Go, you'll have the opportunity to take on challenging engineering problems and build solutions that are used across the wider business.

A big part of the role is finding better ways to solve engineering problems. That could mean developing automation to remove repetitive manual work, building services that improve system performance, creating tools that give engineers greater visibility of production environments or improving how issues are identified and resolved. You'll have the freedom to get into the detail, write the code and take your solutions all the way into production.

The technical environment includes Prometheus, Grafana, New Relic and Splunk, alongside OpenTelemetry, Terraform and Ansible. There is also an AI element to the role using agentic systems and LLms in order to automate operational processes and develop smarter approaches to observability. You'll further work closely with production systems, getting involved in incident resolution, investigating performance issues and understanding exactly why things go wrong. More importantly, you'll use that knowledge to build lasting solutions rather than repeatedly firefighting the same problems.

Combine proper software development with the challenges of reliability engineering. You'll be building things that are genuinely used, tackling problems that require strong engineering thinking and having real ownership over the solutions you deliver.
