About the role

  • Respond to and support production incidents — triage, follow runbooks, escalate to seniors, and help restore service while capturing immediate learnings
  • Participate during incidents under mentorship — take first‑line actions and hand off complex issues to more experienced responders
  • Help define and instrument SLIs/SLOs with engineering partners — add basic metrics and alerts and verify they map to service behaviour
  • Maintain and improve runbooks and playbooks — convert tribal knowledge into clear, runnable procedures and small automations
  • Improve observability coverage — add metrics, traces, and logs to make failures visible and actionable for debugging
  • Build and maintain small automations and remediation scripts — remove repetitive manual steps and reduce operational friction
  • Contribute to Infrastructure-as-Code and CI/CD work — implement templates/modules and follow established patterns for safe provisioning and deployment
  • Assist with capacity, cost, and health monitoring — run dashboards and reports, surface anomalies, and propose optimisations
  • Follow and apply security checks in build and runtime workflows — address findings with guidance and ensure baseline controls are met
  • Participate in blameless postmortems and follow‑through on assigned remediation items — document causes and complete follow ups

Requirements

  • 1–3 years practical experience in SRE/DevOps or cloud engineering roles, internships, or related projects
  • Basic AWS familiarity — core services, networking concepts, and autoscaling patterns
  • Exposure to Infrastructure-as-Code and CI/CD (Terraform/CloudFormation/AWS CDK or similar, and Git‑based pipelines)
  • Foundational observability skills — experience with metrics, logging, or tracing tools
  • Scripting ability (Python, Bash, or similar) to automate tasks and build small tools
  • Familiarity with Linux, desirable
  • Knowledge of containerisation, desirable
  • Comfortable working in a dynamic environment and following incident response practices
  • Collaborative communicator who asks questions, documents clearly, and works well across teams
  • Detail‑focused, proactive learner — open to feedback, curious, and committed to steady improvement
Benefits
  • Diversity and inclusion are integral to every aspect of our business
  • Equal-opportunity employer
