Site Reliability Engineer (London)
Edra, London
The role
We're looking for a Site Reliability Engineer to join our infrastructure team as the second-in-seat hire. Our team ships fast enough that we're starting to hit GitHub's rate limits, and infrastructure has to stay a month ahead of that. You'll be in key engineering meetings to ensure our infrastructure is ready before anyone asks, and to catch any decisions that may become infrastructure problems later.
This is not a ticket queue. You'll decide what gets built, push back when a managed service already does what someone wants to hand-roll, and invent when no pattern exists. You'll also write real software, not just the infrastructure code underneath it. We run containerized workloads on AWS and GCP, defined in infrastructure as code, with Postgres underneath. Some of our early infrastructure was built quickly before anyone owned it full-time. Part of the job is untangling that while keeping the team moving.
