Senior Site Reliability Engineer (Azure)

Who we are:

For over 50 years, we have worked closely with investment and asset managers to become the world’s leading provider of integrated investment management solutions. We are 2,800+ colleagues with a broad range of nationalities, educations, professional experiences, ages, and backgrounds in general.

SimCorp is an independent subsidiary of the Deutsche Börse Group. Following the recent merger with Axioma, we leverage the combined strength of our brands to provide an industry-leading, full, front-to-back offering for our clients, with SimCorp as the overarching company brand and Axioma as a key product brand.

As a global provider of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) investment management solutions, SimCorp supports clients 24/7 through delivery centers around the world. Our Global Delivery Centers are located in Manila in the Philippines, Noida in India, Kyiv in Ukraine, Warsaw in Poland, and in Mexico City, Mexico.

SimCorp is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to building a culture where diverse perspectives and expertise are integrated in our everyday work. We believe in the continual growth and development of our employees, so that we can provide best-in-class solutions to our clients.

While striving to deliver client value, we believe it is vital to consider our people and our planet in every business decision we make. Acting responsibly is not optional. It is essential.

Why this role is important to us:

In SaaS Operations - your future department - our strategic roadmap is summed up in one word: Scale. We need to deliver a reliable and ever evolving platform for our clients to run their business critical processes on using SimCorp’s products. To ensure the best possible position, we’re building our cloud platform operations department around the SRE principles, and you’re invited to help us build this from the ground up.

In your daily work you will be collaborating with experienced operations engineers and all of our agile DevOps teams in our sister department SaaS Innovation. Your focus will be on technical deliveries, troubleshooting and continuous improvements to our platform, while also acting as an integral part of our feedback loop to developers both of platform and software features of SimCorp’s products. You will be part of a fast-paced, collaborative, inclusive and iterative delivery environment, with colleagues that are motivated by doing things that are equally important and impressive.

What you will be responsible for:

The focus of the SRE team is to support and operate our SaaS platform for our clients, always doing this with an eye on improving our deliveries and thinking about how to use our maintenance budget in the wisest and most scalable way.
