Join this agile company as a Senior SRE! Take ownership of a robust AWS environment and scale a new SaaS product with a highly collaborative team!
Why You’d Like It   
If you're a Site Reliability Engineer who thrives on getting a greenfield product to market, this is for you. Imagine joining a company with the stability of a well-established business but the energy and innovation of a startup. You’ll be stepping into a role where the core infrastructure is already robust and well-defined, allowing you to focus on scalability and optimisation rather than reinventing the wheel. This is a chance to truly own your space, while being fully embedded in a collaborative team that genuinely values your expertise and input.
  
The Story   
This company is a well-established and trusted partner that supports enterprise customers with financing and asset management. While their core business is solid, they’re now embarking on an exciting new direction with the launch of a cutting-edge software product. This new venture is the result of over a year-long project and is now ready to go to market. We're looking for a Senior SRE to fill the shoes of the person who built out the initial infrastructure. You’ll be joining a dedicated, agile team to support this launch and help guide the long-term architectural roadmap as they scale this product and beyond.
  
Company Profile   
This is an ambitious and well-established business with a strong reputation across New Zealand and Australia. They’re entering a new era of technology, offering huge opportunities for key people to shape their future. Their culture is rooted in strong community values, and they believe in fostering a collaborative and supportive environment where everyone feels valued. They've built their technical teams from the ground up, so you’ll be working alongside passionate experts in a flexible and trusting environment.
  
Your Role   
As the Senior Site Reliability Engineer, you'll be the go-to person for all things infrastructure and observability. You’ll be embedded within a small, cross-functional squad, supporting a modern SaaS solution built on AWS.
  • Support the rollout of the new product and other applications by ensuring the systems are secure, stable, and scalable.
  • Leverage your expertise with Terraform and AWS to continuously optimise the existing infrastructure.
  • Work closely with the wider engineering team to define and implement infrastructure best practices and contribute to the ongoing DevOps roadmap.
  • Be ready to lead the charge on new initiatives, including a planned move to a new AI component and potential opportunities in data pipelines and insights.
  
Benefits   
  • A competitive salary
  • Work in a genuine startup-feel environment with the security of a profitable and well-established business
  • Flexible working - work 3-4 days a week on site, with flexible start and finish times
  • Be part of a collaborative and supportive team that's passionate about building great products
  • Enjoy access to a shared car park
  
Your Fit   
You're a seasoned SRE with strong hands-on experience in AWS environments, Terraform, and observability tools. You’re not just a technician; you’re a team player who enjoys being part of the squad, participating in standups and sprint planning. You’re ready to take ownership of the SRE space and help the business scale, and you might even have an interest or experience in data pipelines that you’d love to explore. Most importantly, you have a positive, can-do attitude and are keen to join a close-knit team that's making a real impact.
