Key skills for this role
We’re looking for a Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) to bring deep expertise in a key reliability domain and help shape the future of our platform reliability strategy.
SRE sits at the heart of our operational trifecta alongside Platform Engineering and DevSecOps. In this role, you’ll act as the go-to authority in your area of specialism, working across teams to embed best practices, solve complex reliability challenges, and improve system resilience at scale.
Unlike a generalist SRE, this role focuses on a core domain of expertise —such as observability, performance engineering, data infrastructure reliability, security-focused SRE, or network reliability —while influencing reliability standards across the wider engineering organisation.
