About this opportunity

Great opportunity for a Senior Site Reliability Engineer to join our Financial Wellbeing Platform. As a Senior SRE you’ll be responsible for ensuring our products run reliably, are scalable, and perform optimally in production environments. You'll monitor and manage these aspects to ensure our products meet the expected Service Level Objectives (SLOs) while also being accountable for one or more areas of the cloud infrastructure resources alongside supervising the work of the SREs in that area. You’ll focus on observability of your technical areas and prioritising the operational service improvements to best improve the SLOs.

What you’ll do

  • Maintain, support & improve our cloud infrastructure in a specific technical area

  • Investigate, fix and remove service issues with an engineering mindset

  • Identify ways in which to improve observability continuously

  • Identify toil relentlessly and design automated solutions to remove it

  • Prioritise operational service improvements to meet or increase SLO

  • Lead incident post-mortems

  • Working with PO to balance run, change and improve stories in each sprint based on metrics e.g. outage rate increasing

  • Support building a strong team by mentoring early career engineers to advance their technical skills, and by undertaking technical interviews to enable us to hire new engineers

What you’ll need

  • Strong understanding of Site Reliability Engineering with commercial experience in working in a relevant environment and putting SRE principles into practice.

  • Stakeholder management experience and the ability to guide and consult engineering teams

  • Strong DevOps understanding, including experience of Infrastructure as Code and CI/CD pipelines, such as Terraform and Jenkins, or alternatives such as GCP

  • Cloud SRE experience and broad set of relevant product knowledge

  • Knowledge of SLAs, SLOs and SLIs is essential along with the best practices for defining and implementing them.

  • Confidence and capability to communicate complex technical problems to non-technical partners at different levels within the organisation.

About working for us

Our focus is to ensure we're inclusive every day, building an organisation that reflects modern society and celebrates diversity in all its forms.

We want our people to feel that they belong and can be their best, regardless of background, identity or culture.

And it’s why we especially welcome applications from under-represented groups.

We’re disability confident. So, if you’d like reasonable adjustments to be made to our recruitment processes, just let us know.

We also offer a wide-ranging benefits package, which includes…

  • A generous pension contribution of up to 15%

  • An annual bonus award, subject to Group performance

  • Share schemes including free shares

  • Benefits you can adapt to your lifestyle, such as discounted shopping

  • 30 days’ holiday, with bank holidays on top

  • A range of wellbeing initiatives and generous parental leave policies
