Take ownership of your technical deliverables and tasks.
Who we’re looking for:
2-3 years of engineering experience with a focus on observability, SRE, or platform engineering.

An understanding of SRE principles, including SLIs/SLOs and proactive monitoring.
Good communication skills, with the ability to clearly explain technical concepts.
A collaborative mindset and a passion for improving the developer experience.
Bonus Points for:
Experience with Open Telemetry (OTel).
Experience with Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation).
What we offer:
A hybrid and flexible approach to working.
Transport options to help you get to and from work, including home pick-up and drop-off.
Meals provided on site in our office.
Flexible leave options including parental leave, family care leave and celebration leave.
