Job Description
The software engineering department is scaling rapidly, and the platform maturity needs to keep pace.
This is a new senior hire, joining an existing SRE team of two as part of a planned expansion. The focus is on building a robust, secure, and repeatable platform that enables developers to ship with confidence as the organisation grows.
You will have meaningful influence over how reliability, security, and operational standards are defined and implemented.

* Working closely with development teams to enable safe, efficient delivery
* Leading by example on observability, incident analysis, and operational discipline
* Helping define and embed SRE best practices as the team grows
