Site Reliability Engineer
Job Description & Overview
Location: Remote First; office location Moorgate, London (flexible remote working locations within UK/Europe)
Employment type: Permanent
Working Hours: Full-time (9-6 UK)
Salary: Up to £120,000 + Shares + Benefits
TransFICC is hiring a Site Reliability Engineer to provide high-performance services to our customers. We develop an integration service product that enables our clients to have a flexible, hosted service without requiring their internal resources to respond to connectivity challenges across trading venues.
You will be joining our SRE team and contributing to TransFICC’s automation culture. We are a multi-disciplinary team covering everything from desktop and laptop support to data centre provisioning of servers and vendor network connectivity.
We all have areas we are stronger in, but we all share responsibility for the entire environment. We are seeking someone like-minded who can contribute to our team while also learning from us.
About the Role – Your mission will be:
Building out the automated provisioning of TransFICCs servers and networks both in physical environments and Cloud, i.e. AWS, GCP
Evolving our Continuous Delivery pipeline for provisioning servers and switches, and deploying software.
Interacting with hardware vendors, telecom providers, and financial institutions
What we are looking for:
Need to know how to code. You don’t need to be an expert, but basic programming in your language of choice is required - you need to be able to build a program.
Everything we configure at TransFICC is automated, so having experience with a software automation tool like Ansible and coding ability is a must.
We are looking for someone experienced as a sys admin or network engineer; however, you must have a reasonable understanding of both.
Constructive, open-minded and self-motivated. A belief in life learning, and an awareness of how much there still is to learn.
Appreciate autonomy and be able to take the initiative.
Experience managing 3rd parties via email and phone, negotiating with vendors, purchasing hardware and enabling remote work.
Whilst not essential, it would be great if you had some of the following:
Authentication Protocols, i.e. SAML, OAuth2, AD, Kerberos
Microsoft/Azure Active Directory
Database HA - Clustering/replication, e.g. Postgres
