About this opportunity

The Retirement Platform is responsible for shaping and delivering the retirement strategy and product vision to help our customers make the most of their financial future. This is an exciting time to join the Retirement Platform with a multi-million-pound investment in digitising our Individual Annuities customer journey onto a Cloud based platform.

We are seeking to recruit a Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) within the Retirement platform where your main responsibilities will be to work with our existing SRE team to ensure strong observability across our services utilizing tools such as Dynatrace and Splunk.

You will work closely with the wider team to embed SRE principles of delivering secure, robust, and reliable infrastructure and features to our customers. Helping our service teams to understand root causes of incidents. Striving to remove manual tasks (toil) through automation and the improvement of processes.

Specific activities will include:

  • Observability, investigating & fixing service issues, with an engineering mentality – resolving via code changes in some cases directly and in others by working with software engineers.

  • Increasing our observability by identifying gaps and serving as an expert on discussion around logging, meta-data, and response codes, creating dashboards and custom alerts/metrics in our APM tools (e.g. Dynatrace).

  • Implementing further automation and reducing toil.

  • Hands-on engineering, maintaining our Infrastructure as Code and CI/CD pipeline-based product and services by responding to change, implementing enhancements & improving reliability and customer experience.
