- Own the investigation and follow-through on load test findings - translating results into concrete reliability improvements across critical flows
- Identify recurring failure patterns and design platform-level fixes that prevent them from showing up again in a different service
- Demonstrated track record of improving reliability at scale - reducing incidents, building guardrails, or driving operational standards across multiple teams
Requirements
- you know how to prioritise when everything feels urgent
Skills
- 8+ years of software engineering experience, with significant time in platform, infrastructure, or SRE work
- Strong proficiency in backend systems and distributed architecture; you can diagnose complex failure modes across a service mesh

- Familiarity with Kubernetes, Helm, Argo and modern deployment tooling
Compensation

Company info
