Site Reliability Engineer

UniqueHire; Sydney; On-site; AUD 150,000 - 190,000; Full time

Job summary

UniqueHire is seeking a Site Reliability Engineer to transform operations into software engineering challenges in a high-throughput telecom context. You will champion Observability as Code and build automated, self-healing systems to keep millions of customers connected.

You will lead the creation of proactive frameworks, define SLIs/SLOs with squads, and reduce toil with automated workflows and robust IaC. This role focuses on fault-tolerant AWS environments and reliable CI/CD pipelines.

Responsibilities

• Engineer Self Healing Systems: Design, build, and maintain automation frameworks that proactively detect, isolate, and mitigate system anomalies and resource constraints before they impact our customers.
• Codify Observability & SLOs: Partner with engineering squads to define clear Service Level Indicators (SLIs) and Service Level Objectives (SLOs). Drive the adoption of Observability as Code, ensuring error budgets actively guide architectural and deployment decisions.
• Eliminate Toil: Aggressively identify and eliminate manual operational bottlenecks by engineering internal tooling, automated workflows, and robust Infrastructure as Code (IaC) solutions.
• Architect Resilient Infrastructures: Collaborate on the design and evolution of our highly available AWS cloud environments, ensuring systems are built for fault tolerance, horizontal scalability, and rapid recovery.
• Drive Systematic Postmortems: Lead deep dive, blameless postmortems for complex, large scale incidents. Turn production failures into concrete engineering requirements that permanently harden our platforms.
• Optimize Delivery Pipelines: Standardize and enhance CI/CD pipelines to ensure safe, predictable, and fully automated application deployments across distributed environments.

Job description

As a Site Reliability Engineer , you wont just be watching dashboards or reacting to alerts¿you will be treating operational challenges as software engineering problems. We manage high throughput, mission critical telecommunications platforms where microservices, cloud infrastructure, and core network systems intersect.

Your mission is to champion a culture of "Observability as Code" and build the automated, self healing systems necessary to keep millions of customers seamlessly connected. If you are passionate about systems programming, eliminating toil, and pushing the boundaries of large scale system resilience, this is your sandbox.

Key Responsibilities

• Engineer Self Healing Systems: Design, build, and maintain automation frameworks that proactively detect, isolate, and mitigate system anomalies and resource constraints before they impact our customers.
• Codify Observability & SLOs: Partner with engineering squads to define clear Service Level Indicators (SLIs) and Service Level Objectives (SLOs). Drive the adoption of Observability as Code, ensuring error budgets actively guide architectural and deployment decisions.
