The role would suit someone already working within SRE, Platform Engineering or DevOps, but the business is equally open to software engineers with strong operational experience who are looking to transition further into infrastructure and reliability engineering.

The Role Working closely with the wider engineering function, this individual will take ownership of platform reliability, monitoring, automation, incident response, and operational improvements across the production environment.

The position combines hands on engineering with operational responsibility and offers the chance to shape reliability processes, tooling, and best practice within a scaling technology business.
