- Support continuous integration and continuous delivery pipelines, collaborating with development teams to improve build and deployment processes.
- Respond to and resolve system incidents by following established procedures, participating in on-call rotations, and contributing to post-incident reviews.
- Troubleshoot technical issues by applying knowledge of system architecture, operational practices, previous experience, and established precedents.
- Collaborate with development and operations teams to improve system performance, minimise technology risk, and deliver reliable solutions that support team and business objectives.
What we are looking for:
- Practical knowledge of site reliability engineering, systems engineering, DevOps, or a related technical discipline.

- Ability to analyse technical problems and implement solutions using established procedures, sound judgement, and previous experience.
- Strong collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across development and operations teams.
- Willingness and ability to participate in an on-call rotation.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience working with cloud platforms such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform.
- Familiarity with container technologies and orchestration platforms such as Docker or Kubernetes.
- Experience using infrastructure-as-code tools and frameworks.
- Understanding of distributed systems, system capacity, scalability, and performance optimisation.
