Do you want to build and manage scaleable, self-healing, globally-distributed systems?
Join this dynamic team of SREs who keep this organisation fast, available, and growing, connecting users to great local businesses. They work in both the dev and systems worlds, implementing key parts of the core architecture and supporting devs as they try to do the same.

- Scale AWS-based infrastructure (no racking servers or swapping hard drives here!)
