Senior Site Reliability Engineer
Our client is an exceptional technology-driven digital assets business that has established itself as a respected and growing player within the market. Backed by a highly successful investment platform, the business combines the agility of a lean engineering environment with the stability and resources of a larger organisation. As they continue to invest in their technology function, they are looking to hire a Senior Site Reliability Engineer to take ownership of the reliability, scalability, and performance of a critical front-office platform. This is a high-impact SRE position within a lean team, offering significant autonomy, visibility, and influence over the platform's future direction.
They are looking for a proactive, highly accountable engineer who thrives in fast-paced environments and enjoys solving complex problems before they become issues. The ideal candidate is a hands-on SRE with a strong engineering mindset, excellent stakeholder management skills, and a genuine passion for building resilient systems. This role would suit someone who enjoys balancing traditional SRE responsibilities such as platform reliability, incident management, and observability with infrastructure engineering and automation projects. You'll be comfortable working directly with business users, taking ownership of critical systems, and driving SRE best practices across the environment while seeing the direct impact of your work.
