Senior SRE / DevOps Engineer

Our partner is looking for a Senior Backend Developer who thrives in a deeply hands-on environment and enjoys being close to the code on a daily basis. This role is heavily focused on building, optimising, and scaling backend services in a high-load system where performance and reliability are critical.

We’re looking for a Senior SRE / DevOps Engineer to join our Platform Tribe – a lean and senior team where
ownership is high and expectations are even higher. This is a deeply hands-on role at the core of a high-traffic
system, where you’ll be directly responsible for maintaining reliability, performance, and stability in a fast-paced
environment.

You’ll be working on real-time production challenges, handling incidents, managing alerts, and being part of a
critical on-call rotation. This role requires resilience, strong decision-making under pressure, and a proactive
mindset to continuously improve systems operating at scale.

Main Responsibilities

– Own system reliability by actively monitoring platform health, managing alerts, and responding to incidents in real
time
– Participate in 24/7 on-call rotations, taking full ownership of production stability in a high-traffic (5-7k RPS)
environment
– Investigate incidents, perform root cause analysis, and implement long-term fixes to prevent recurrence
– Build and continuously improve monitoring, alerting, and observability across the Kubernetes (EKS) ecosystem
– Deploy, manage, and optimise infrastructure using Terraform, Helm, and GitOps tools (Flux/ArgoCD)
– Drive automation and proactively improve system resilience, reducing manual intervention and recurring issues
– Maintain and evolve CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code practices
– Collaborate closely with engineering teams to support deployments and minimise user impact in a live
environment
– Introduce and integrate new tools and technologies to enhance scalability, reliability, and performance
– Handle environment-specific requests and ensure smooth day-to-day platform operations under constant load

Mandatory Requirements

– Strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes (deployment, scaling, troubleshooting) in high-load environments
– Experience with GitOps tools such as FluxCD or ArgoCD
– Proven experience in incident response, root cause analysis, and postmortems in production systems
– Solid experience with AWS, Terraform, Docker, and CI/CD pipelines
– Experience with monitoring and observability tools such as Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, and logging stacks
like ELK or CloudWatch
– Strong understanding of networking concepts and protocols
– Proficiency in at least one scripting language (e.g. Python, Go, Node.js)
– Experience working with version control systems (Git)
– Familiarity with incident management tools like PagerDuty, Opsgenie, or similar
– Ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment with strong ownership and accountability
– Proactive, resilient mindset with a focus on continuous improvement and system stability
