As a Senior SRE, you’ll balance your passion for both software development and reliability engineering, applying engineering discipline to solve operational challenges at scale. You’ll collaborate closely with development teams as a trusted advisor, influencing system design, establishing reliability standards, and driving quality improvements across the platform. Your role dynamically shifts between hands-on coding—building tools, automation, and infrastructure—and incident response, performance optimisation, and operational excellence.

What You’ll Do

System Reliability & Performance

• Implement comprehensive monitoring and observability using OpenTelemetry standards
• Identify single points of failure in distributed systems
• Analyse system performance across OS and network layers, identifying resource utilisation patterns and bottlenecks to optimise efficiency
• Define and maintain Service Level Objectives (SLOs) for critical trading services

Technical Leadership

• Partner with development teams on system design, capacity planning, and architectural reviews
• Provide technical guidance and hands-on support to help development teams transition their applications from traditional deployment models to containerised infrastructure.
• Lead incident response efforts and conduct blameless postmortems

Infrastructure & Messaging

• Optimise message-driven systems by ensuring reliable event streaming and asynchronous communication patterns
• Scale systems through automation and infrastructure-as-code practices

Software Development Fundamentals

• Write clean, maintainable code following industry best practices and design patterns
• Apply software engineering best practices, including version control, code reviews, and testing strategies

Essential Technical Skills

What you’ll need for this role

• Strong Java development experience with a deep understanding of JVM internals and performance tuning
• Hands-on expertise with message brokers (ActiveMQ, Kafka or similar) in production environments
• Proven experience with containerization and orchestration (Nomad would be an advantage)
• Practical knowledge of OpenTelemetry and distributed tracing concepts
• Solid understanding of reliability patterns, circuit breakers, and fault tolerance

Experience Requirements

• Experience in high-throughput, low-latency production environments
• Track record of improving system reliability and performance at scale
• Experience with continuous delivery and DevOps practices
• Strong troubleshooting skills in distributed systems
• Background in financial services or similar mission-critical domains (preferred)
