Perform root cause analysis for incidents and implement preventative measures. Provide advisory support to platform support teams. Work in a multi-cloud environment, and while Azure is the primary focus, experience with AWS (e.g., ECS, Lambda, RDS) is beneficial. Key Skills and Experience: Proven experience as an SRE, or in a similar role. Strong expertise in Azure services (containers, serverless, AI, analytics, databases). Experience with implementing and utilising monitoring & logging tools (Azure Monitor, Application Insights, Datadog, Grafana). Proficient in scripting & automation (Python, Bash, PowerShell). Infrastructure as Code (IaC) experience (Terraform, Bicep, ARM Templates). Experience with making technical decisions and implementing solutions that align with best practices and business goals. Excellent problem-solving and collaboration skills. AWS knowledge and experience would be a plus.

We truly believe that diversity makes us better. As a flexible-first employer we offer hybrid working at Funding Circle, and we've long believed in a 'best of both' approach to in-office collaboration and non-office days. We expect our teams to be in our London office three times a week, where you can take advantage of our newly refurbished hybrid working space, barista made coffee and subsidised lunches (via JustEat) every day! We back our Circlers to build their own incredible career, making a difference to small businesses every day. Our Circler proposition is designed to support employees both in and out of work, and it is anchored around four pillars: Health, Wealth, Development & Lifestyle. A few highlights: Health: Private Medical Insurance through Aviva, Dental Insurance through Bupa, MediCash, access to free online therapy sessions and exclusive discounts with Hertility for reproductive health support. Wealth: Octopus Money Coach, free mortgage advisor partnership and discounts across numerous retailers through Perks at Work. Development: Dedicated annual learning allowance and full access to internal learning platform. Lifestyle: Wellhub (for fitness discounts), Electric Car Scheme and more! And finally, we have award winning parental leave policies supporting parents through enhanced maternity, partner and adoption leave, as well as additional leave for parental bereavement and for fertility treatments. Ready to make a difference? We'd love to hear from you.
