  • Drive capacity planning and proactive performance optimization, always pushing the envelope to anticipate and meet evolving business and customer needs.
  • Partner with teams to define and refine four golden signals, service levels, and error budgets, ensuring we measure and improve critical user journeys and business impact.
  • Take ownership in high-stakes production incidents, leading deep-dive investigations and implementing long-term solutions to prevent future disruptions.
  • Develop, refine, and automate reliability-focused tooling, reducing toil and increasing engineering efficiency across the platform.

Skills and Experience:

  • Deep expertise in site reliability engineering concepts and practices.
  • Advanced knowledge of observability and telemetry data principles, with hands-on experience in designing and implementing solutions at scale.
  • Experience with Linux system administration and fundamentals.
  • Solid understanding of network fundamentals, with an emphasis on Layer 7 protocols such as HTTP, gRPC, DNS, and TLS.
  • Extensive experience with IaaS platforms, both cloud and on-prem.
  • Strong experience with containerization principles, tooling, and orchestration.
  • Proficiency in one or more of the following: Go, Python, C#, NodeJS, or similar programming languages.
  • Strong grasp of CI/CD automation and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles

Bonus Skills and Experience:

  • Experience in fintech style operations.
  • Experience working in large-scale, low-latency asynchronous systems.
  • Hands-on experience with the OpenTelemetry ecosystem.
  • A keen interest in new technologies and industry trends in the SRE and observability space.
  • Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills, with a systematic approach to problem-solving.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to document systems, processes, and troubleshooting steps clearly.
  • We offer a fantastic new office near Barangaroo, close to Wynyard station.
  • Our office has a sports hub, if you want to challenge a mate to a game of table tennis or darts.
  • Fancy a good cup of coffee? We have an in-house barista to get you that perfect cup.
  • Many social events to take part in.
