We are seeking a Systems Reliability Engineer to join the Technical Operations team supporting our Embedded Finance (EmFi) platform. In this role, you will own the reliability and resiliency of a large-scale enterprise platform, ensuring that our services remain highly available, performant and secure.

• Lead and participate in incident response, serving as a technical driver during remediation calls and coordinating with impacted and impacting technical and product teams.
• Own and advance the root cause analysis (RCA) process - investigating incidents, documenting the sequence of events and remediating actions, and clearly identifying underlying root causes to prevent recurrence.
• Ensure timely creation and management of incident tickets (e.g., ServiceNow) and accurate incident tracking, aging and reporting.
• Build automation and tooling to reduce toil, improve mean time to detection (MTTD) and mean time to resolution (MTTR), and increase operational efficiency.
• Collaborate with engineering, product and risk stakeholders to embed reliability best practices into the platform lifecycle.

What you will need to have:

• Hands-on experience with monitoring, observability and alerting tools, specifically Splunk, Dynatrace, Grafana and Datadog.
• Proven experience operating and supporting a large-scale enterprise platform environment.
• Demonstrated experience with incident response and leading or contributing to root cause analysis (RCA) processes.
• Strong understanding of reliability engineering principles, including availability, resiliency, monitoring and alerting best practices.
• Experience with ticketing and incident management workflows (e.g., ServiceNow).
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to drive remediation efforts and collaborate across technical, product and risk teams.

What would be great to have:

• Experience in financial services, payments or embedded finance environments.
• Proficiency with scripting or programming languages for automation (e.g., Python, Go, Bash).
• Familiarity with cloud platforms, containerization and CI/CD pipelines.
• Experience defining and managing SLOs, SLIs and error budgets
