What’s the opportunity?
We’re hiring a Associate Tech Lead DevOps/ SRE to join our Platform Experience team — the group responsible for owning the internal services, tooling, and infrastructure that empower our global Engineering teams to deliver quickly, safely, and at scale. You’ll work using a DevOps mindset to help teams adopt Continuous Delivery best practices, manage Infrastructure as Code, and elevate quality standards through our internal platforms. Most importantly, you’ll work closely with teams to understand their delivery pain points and design practical solutions that remove friction and accelerate their work.

What you'll 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 of commercial experience in Site Reliability Engineering or DevOps roles

• Experience managing cloud platforms at scale (we use GCP predominantly, but highly value experience in AWS or Azure) utilising Infrastructure as Code practices

• Experience developing and managing CI/CD pipelines and optimising them for development teams (we use Cloud Build, ArgoCD, and Cloud Deploy)

• Exposure to containerisation and/or orchestration platforms like GKE

• A natural sense of curiosity, problem solving and continuous learning

• Great communication and collaboration skills; you take initiative and seek feedback

• Experience operating software systems in production (we believe strongly in the DevOps principle “You Build It, You Run It”)

• A strong sense of ownership and accountability

• Track record of automating away low-value tasks, reducing toil on your team

Other Skills We Value
