About this opportunity

Exciting opportunity for SRE DevOps Engineer to join our Client Servicing and Engagement platform. As SRE DevOps Engineer you’ll be responsible for ensuring our products run reliably, are scalable, and perform optimally in production environments. You'll supervise 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.

• 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
