Want to join a fast-paced SaaS start-up that’s scaling for real, not just “aspirational scaling” on a pitch deck 🎯
This is the kind of role where you get proper ownership, real impact, and the chance to help shape how reliability is done as the platform grows globally 🌍⚙️
✅ Sydney, hybrid, 3 days a week in the office with smart, ambitious, fun, engaged people who know they’re building something bigger 🏙️✨
💰 Up to $180k + super + stock options 🎁📈
⏱️ Start ASAP, as fast as Santa’s sleigh on Christmas Eve 🛷💨
🎄 The role, Senior SRE, Senior Site Reliability Engineer
This is a hands-on Senior SRE role with a big production focus at the start, then quickly evolving into a stronger Senior Site Reliability Engineer function as you shape the way the team runs.
You’ll be the person who turns “we should have a better on-call model” into “we do, and it works” 📘✅
You’ll also be the escalation point when customers hit issues that need deeper investigation than standard support can do, think logs, data, platform behaviour, and real root cause analysis 🔍🧠
Over time, you’ll help build a follow-the-sun rhythm, and the role is likely to grow into leading capability, including adding support across EU or US time zones 🌍🕒
🧩 What you’ll be doing
- Owning production incidents end to end, triage, coordination, comms, resolution, and learning loops 🚨✅
- Building and improving on-call and incident response patterns, runbooks, escalation paths, and reliability habits 🛠️📘
- Doing deep technical investigations across logs, data stores, and service behaviour, especially when the answer isn’t obvious 🔍🧠
- Troubleshooting modern Node.js and TypeScript services, plus complex API integrations 🧩⚙️
- Working in AWS serverless environments, monitoring, alerting, caching, storage, search, and the systems that keep a SaaS platform fast and reliable ☁️🔭
- Supporting issues that surface in mobile ecosystems too, iOS and Android, app to backend behaviours, weird edge cases 📱🔧
- Partnering closely with engineering and product, helping teams ship fast without breaking trust 🌪️🤝
🎯 What we’re looking for
- A proven self-starter who’s comfortable operating in ambiguity, you see a messy situation and you create clarity and momentum 🧠⚡
- Strong troubleshooting and root cause instincts, you can navigate data and logs confidently 🔍
- Around 6+ years in production facing roles like SRE, Senior SRE, production engineering, platform ops, or technical support for complex systems 🧰
- Calm, clear incident leadership, you’ve handled high severity production events before 🚨🧯
- Great communication with cross-functional teams, especially when it’s high stakes ✍️
- Bonus points for experience with observability tooling, CI/CD and deployment troubleshooting, React or React Native familiarity, and legacy environments when needed 📈🧪🧑 💻🪟
🎄 Why you’ll like it
- High impact Senior SRE role, you’ll actually shape the model, not inherit a finished system
- Fast-paced SaaS start-up energy, big ownership, big learning, real growth
- Strong team culture, smart people, no passengers
- Stock options, because if you help build it, you should share the upside 📈✨
