Site Reliability Engineer (SRE)

What’s the opportunity:

We’re hiring a Site Reliability Engineer to join our Global SRE team — the group responsible for owning the reliability and observability of our software, running at scale all across the world. You’ll work using a DevOps mindset to help teams adopt observability best practices, manage Infrastructure as Code, and be first responders in our Critical Incident Process to ensure children remain protected. Most importantly, you’ll work closely with teams to understand their pain points and design practical solutions that remove friction and improve the reliability of their products.

What you will bring:

The skills and technologies listed below will give you a sense of our practices and tech stack. We’d love you to apply even if you don’t tick every box. We’re pro-learning, good engineering and coding paradigms, rather than specific tools.

Essential Skills

• 5 years experience operating cloud platforms and services at scale (we use GCP predominantly, but also highly value experience in AWS or Azure)
• Experience managing Kubernetes and associated tooling in production
• Knowledge of good monitoring and alerting practices, and experience of handling on-call rotations and pages for production systems
• Experience with observability tooling, including tracing and profiling
• Proficiency with Terraform and managing Infrastructure as Code
• Proficiency with at least one programming language, and a track record of automating away low-value tasks, instead of manually repeating them
• Strong understanding of database concepts (both relational and NoSQL) and scaling them to meet demand
• Strong understanding of security concepts and securing cloud infrastructure
• Experience managing Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery tooling in an enterprise environment, ideally using GitOps
• Great communication skills, both written and verbal, to document patterns and champion practices among teams
• A strong sense of ownership and accountability, and a passion for learning
