We are hiring for a Network Engineer (SRE), who will combine software, systems, and networking engineering principles to design, build, and operate large-scale, highly distributed, and fault-tolerant systems.

Working closely with the wider team, you will help to ensure that Edenred Paytech's services, including both critical internal platforms and external-facing systems, achieve high reliability and meet or exceed uptime requirements by defining and maintaining clear Service Level Objectives (SLOs) derived from Service Level Agreements (SLAs). Using industry best practices, you will establish measurable Service Level Indicators (SLIs) that provide precise, data-driven metrics to evaluate performance against these SLOs. You will continuously monitor and analyse these indicators, including network performance metrics to detect deviations early, enabling proactive incident response and targeted improvements.

You will oversee system and network capacity and performance, manage resource utilisation efficiently, and conduct thorough cost analytics to identify optimisation opportunities.

• Monitor and optimise system performance and security of both on-prem, and cloud resources.

• Scale systems sustainably through mechanisms like automation and evolve systems by pushing for changes that improve reliability and velocity.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align technical strategies with business objectives. 

• Perform regular security audits, vulnerability assessments, and business continuity plan (BCP) reviews, collaborate with Infosec to maintain secure platforms and ensure timely implementation of security patches.

• Evaluate and recommend new technologies and tools to enhance platform capabilities and overall performance.

• Develop and maintain comprehensive documentation for systems architecture, processes, and procedures to facilitate knowledge sharing and compliance.

• Maintaining and verifying resilience, availability, and disaster recovery.

• Define, implement, and monitor SLAs by establishing measurable SLOs and SLIs, using data-driven insights to ensure service reliability meets business expectations and proactively address any deviations.

What you will bring:

Essential Criteria:

• Strong expertise in AWS services and architecture: Proven experience in designing, implementing, and managing scalable and secure cloud infrastructures using AWS tools and services.
