About the Role
We are looking for a Site Reliability Engineer who views "manual effort" as a bug to be fixed. In this role, you won't just be keeping the lights on; you will be the architect of our system’s resilience. We need a proactive engineer who is obsessed with Kubernetes and Cloud infrastructure, but also has a visionary streak—someone eager to experiment with AI-driven operations (AIOps) to predict failures and automate responses. If you enjoy building self-healing systems and staying ahead of the tech curve, this is the place for you.
What you will be doing
- Engineering Reliability: Designing and implementing self-healing infrastructure using Kubernetes to maintain high uptime and system integrity.
- Scaling Cloud Ecosystems: Optimizing our cloud footprint (AWS/GCP/Azure) to ensure our platforms can handle rapid growth without breaking a sweat.
- Innovating with AI: Proactively identifying opportunities to integrate AI tools into our observability stack to automate incident detection and root-cause analysis.
- Eliminating Toil: Writing clean, efficient code to automate repetitive operational tasks, turning manual workflows into seamless "set and forget" processes.
- Defining Observability: Building advanced monitoring and alerting frameworks that provide deep insights into system health and performance.
What we are looking for
- Kubernetes Power User: Extensive experience managing production-grade K8s environments, including ingress, service mesh, and container security.
- Cloud Infrastructure Expert: A deep understanding of cloud networking, storage, and compute services within a major provider (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
- Proactive Mindset: An engineer who doesn't wait for a ticket; you naturally seek out system weaknesses and build solutions to strengthen them.
- AI Curiosity: An active interest in the AI landscape and a desire to leverage LLMs or machine learning to improve SRE workflows.
- Programming Literacy: Ideally experience with at least one language (such as Java, Python, Go, or Ruby) to bridge the gap between software engineering and operations.
At Matillion, we are committed to providing competitive salaries in line with market standards. Our estimated compensation range for this position is £49,600 - £74,400, but the final salary will be based on your relevant skills, experience and qualifications demonstrated in the hiring process.
At Matillion, we’re here to do something hard - change the way the world works with data, and build a great company along the way.
