The role You will operate at the intersection of software engineering, cloud infrastructure and reliability engineering. This role goes beyond execution and delivery. You will be expected to
design, plan and lead initiatives

software engineering background
, with experience building and operating systems in languages such as Python, Node.js, Ruby or similar, not just scripting.
Reliability mindset You are comfortable with: • Defining and using SLOs and SLIs to make reliability measurable • Using error budgets to guide engineering priorities • Leading or participating in incident response and post incident improvement • Improving production readiness, on call quality and reducing recurring failure patterns
Why this role stands out • High impact senior role with real ownership and influence • Opportunity to shape reliability practices in a growing engineering organisation • Strong engineering culture with an emphasis on autonomy and trust • Competitive salary, equity and a versátil hybrid working model
If you are a senior engineer who enjoys designing systems, leading initiatives and improving reliability at scale, this role offers the scope and autonomy to make a real impact.
