• Operational Excellence: Patch and maintain Kubernetes clusters and other production systems.
• SRE Roadmap: Contribute to the continuous improvement of our observability, reliability, and automation initiatives.

This role is hybrid and will require regular weekly attendance at our London office.

Requirements
