This is built for engineers who see software through a systems lens rather than treating individual services in isolation.You'll be writing production-grade code daily, not occasional scripts or one-off tooling, but real application code that ships and runs at scale. You'll be embedded directly within teams, as an engineer who brings deep knowledge of using software to solve problems.
The work centers on designing, building, and maintaining cloud native systems where low latency, security, and scalability are non-negotiable. Reliability isn't something bolted on after features are complete; it's woven into the architecture and code from the start. You'll think in terms of SLAs and SLOs as natural constraints that shape how systems are built, and you'll engineer solutions that prevent incidents rather than just responding to them. Monitoring, observability, and metrics aren't afterthoughts, they're critical. In play is Open Telemetry, Grafana, Splunk and Pager Duty.
The hybrid setup based in the North West is designed to balance collaborative work with uninterrupted focus time for deep engineering. You'll spend time working closely with teams to think through system design, then break away to deliver high-impact code. You will elevate the teams you join, bringing an reliability mindset into everyday engineering practices while contributing directly to application codebases.
They're looking for engineers with strong software development backgrounds, people comfortable with modern programming languages like Python, JavaScript, or Go, and open to picking up new tools as needed. Experience with distributed or cloud-native systems matters, as does a proactive approach to performance and system health. If you're someone who builds, ships, and genuinely cares about reliability at a systems level, this role is positioned as an opportunity to work on meaningful, high-impact infrastructure within a quality-focused engineering culture.
