Senior Production Engineer | London (4 Days Onsite)
Are you the engineer people turn to when production goes wrong?
We're partnering with a fast-growing fintech that's building mission-critical software for regulated financial institutions. As the platform scales across international markets, they're looking for a Senior Production Engineer to take ownership of production reliability while remaining close to the code.
This isn't a traditional support role. You'll be expected to investigate complex production issues, perform root cause analysis, implement permanent fixes, and contribute directly to the backend codebase.
What you'll be doing
- Owning high-priority production incidents from investigation through to resolution.
- Troubleshooting complex distributed systems running in production.
- Performing root cause analysis and implementing long-term solutions rather than temporary fixes.
- Developing smaller backend features and production improvements.
- Working closely with Software Engineers, Platform Engineers and Infrastructure teams to improve reliability and performance.
- Helping mature incident management processes and mentoring other engineers.
- Participating in a compensated out-of-hours on-call rota.
