Job description

Time to enhance your scope; broaden your horizon by delving into site reliability engineering.

You’ll take the skills you have picked up in software engineering and apply these to improve overall system and application performance and reliability. You’ll work on internal developer tooling, using languages such as Golang, Python or TypeScript — knowledge of one of these is needed; you can learn the others!

You will be developing solutions to complex monitoring, automation, and capacity management problems, so experience approaching tasks methodically to solve engineering problems is key. In addition to your programming skills, knowledge of metrics, monitoring, and observability would be beneficial. Experience with the full SDLC and deployments of code through pipelines into containers — modern cloud-native software engineering.

This role offers the chance to work on large-scale infrastructure that must operate at high speed to meet substantial consumer demand. A 24/7 uptime is essential in this enterprise environment, where stability, scalability, and performance are paramount to the company's success. Collaboration is second nature to the teams; they understand that working together is crucial to ensure problems are solved, issues are fixed, and engineering remains at the forefront of the industry.

The role is hybrid, as collaboration both within and across teams is crucial. You will be rewarded with a solid pension, free gym membership, 5 weeks holiday plus bank holidays, and a hefty bonus.
