At Partnerize, we’re on a mission to transform the way businesses grow. We’ve built the leading partnership automation platform that empowers brands to discover, engage, and convert their audiences at scale. From affiliate marketing to influencer collaborations, we help our clients build and manage profitable partnerships that drive real results. We’re a team of passionate problem‑solvers who are dedicated to helping our clients win in the ever‑evolving world of digital marketing.
We’re looking for passionate, talented people who want to be part of a winning team. At Partnerize, you’ll find a culture of collaboration, innovation, and respect. We’re guided by our core values, and we’re committed to creating an environment where everyone can do their best work. We also offer a competitive salary, generous benefits, and a flexible work environment that allows you to thrive both personally and professionally. If you’re ready to grow your career and make a difference, we’d love to hear from you.
This is a captivating and exciting time to join Partnerize. We are at a pivotal point in our tech progression, looking to significantly expand our technical estate, scale the platform, and replace existing legacy systems with modern solutions. You will play a vital role in the ongoing operationalisation and management of our entire platform portfolio found in our on‑prem data centres and AWS cloud: Partnerize, BrandVerity, Ascend, and our recent acquisition, Konnecto. While there will be a key focus on maintaining and supporting our on‑prem live platform systems, a critical pillar of your mission will be spearheading the onboarding of our enterprise on‑prem containerisation solution. This initiative is designed to fundamentally shift our engineering culture towards a “you build it, you own it” model. By providing robust, automated container platforms, you will empower our Engineering teams to deploy quickly and independently, significantly reducing the bottleneck created by relying solely on the TechOps department.
We are looking for a Senior SRE who is both a deep technical expert and a capable mentor. In this role, your primary responsibility is ensuring our diverse, hybrid systems remain available, scalable, and secure. You will act as an authoritative Subject Matter Expert (SME), championing developer autonomy, driving IT systems security policies, and working closely with the security compliance team to protect our platforms from threats while driving continuous integration and delivery. This role will report into the SRE and Application Manager providing them with technical guidance and recommendations whilst being a technical leader for the SRE team.
You will be responsible for ensuring the continuous development and progression of team members. We are looking for a player/coach who can mentor, empower, and upskill talent. We have a mix of technical generalists, specialists, and junior engineers; you will help identify their strengths and constructively develop areas of weakness, guiding their technological career paths as we transition to a DevOps‑centric operating model.
You will operate in a fast‑paced, high‑velocity environment where your work directly and visibly shapes the company’s architectural future. This requires a highly adaptable and pragmatic Engineer who can balance strategic project delivery with hybrid‑estate maintenance. By applying modern incident management frameworks to troubleshooting and ticket management, you are responsible for ensuring all issues across our estate are addressed decisively and efficiently.
If you are an experienced technical expert who finds satisfaction in solving complex hybrid‑architectural challenges, driving DevOps cultural transformations, and building high‑performing teams, this is the role for you. You will have the autonomy to shape the technical integration of a major acquisition, modernise legacy systems, and implement the tools that empower our engineers to build and run their own software.
At Partnerize, we recognise it is unrealistic for a candidate to fulfil 100% of the criteria in this job description. We encourage you to apply if you feel you meet the majority of the requirements above. We know that skills evolve over time, so if you have a keen appetite to learn, innovate, and evolve alongside us, come join our team!
We are committed to attracting, developing, and advancing our outstanding team members, regardless of race, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, religion, age, gender, gender identity, physical abilities, or any other dimension of diversity. We strive to foster an environment where people can be their authentic selves, raise concerns and innovate, all without fear; where they are treated fairly and respectfully, have equal access to opportunities and resources and can contribute fully to the organization’s success. Every individual in our business is expected to live this commitment without exception.
