We are an industry-leading provider of wealth management technology and services for financial institutions around the world, including private banks and wealth managers, investment managers, as well as retail and neo banks. Our research led approach and continual innovation is powered by the passion and creativity of our colleagues.\nWe are always looking for talented people to join us on our mission to orchestrate the financial ecosystem and democratize access to wealth management. Avaloq offers the opportunity to work closely with some of the world’s leading financial institutions as we jointly develop and shape careers. Championing a collaborative, supportive and flexible work environment empowers our colleagues to reach their full potential.\n Avaloq's R&D Lab is building a SaaS, API-first, composable banking platform. As a Senior Site Reliability Engineer you will help build the reliability practice behind it.\nThis is amongst the first technical roles we are hiring for our Fort Lauderdale site. You will partner with our Senior SRE in Zurich and work alongside our platform engineers and product teams.\nThe first three to six months:\nSome of what you can expect early on:\nLearning our AWS environment, our serverless platform, and how our product teams build and release \nContributing to the direction on observability tooling, together with the platform engineers, the SRE team, and our developers \nWorking with the Zurich team on the incident and on-call operating model \nTaking on increasing responsibility as you build context, always in alignment with the Zurich team \nWhat you will do:\nDefine and evolve SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets with product teams, and use them to drive reliability decisions \nCollaborate on the design of our observability approach for a distributed serverless system, covering metrics, logs, and traces \nBuild the incident response practice with us: on-call model, escalation, blameless post-mortems, and the loop that turns findings into hardening work \nBuild reliability automation that detects and remediates issues before they reach clients \nImprove CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation on GitHub Actions to reduce operational toil and release risk \nWork with product teams on resilient design, capacity planning, and progressive delivery approaches such as canary and blue-green \nContribute to disaster recovery design and testing for client-facing environments \nPartner with Security and Compliance so that operational practice holds up to regulatory and audit expectations \nHelp us define and implement operational readiness for client go-live \nMentor colleagues and support a culture of shared operational ownership \nOur stack:\nServerless-first on AWS: Lambda, DynamoDB, SQS, S3, and Bedrock. Terraform and OpenTofu for infrastructure, GitHub Actions for CI/CD. Product teams work in Rust, TypeScript, Python, Vue, and Angular. We do not run containers.\n 5+ years in Site Reliability Engineering, DevOps, or production operations for distributed cloud systems, with substantial hands-on AWS experience \nPractical experience defining and working with SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets \nStrong incident response background, including on-call, triage under pressure, and post-mortem practice \nA clear point of view on observability for distributed systems, and the reasoning behind it \nSolid automation and scripting ability. We are language-agnostic; Rust, TypeScript, or Python all work here \nExcellent collaboration and communication skills, with a pragmatic approach to balancing speed and stability \nIt would be a real bonus if you have:\nExperience with AWS serverless and event-driven architecture, including idempotency, retries, dead-letter queues, and failure handling. Strong AWS generalists who want to go deep here are welcome \nExperience taking a platform from pre-launch to production, including defining operational readiness criteria \nExperience building AI agents to monitor platform health \nStrong CI/CD background, ideally with GitHub Actions, including secrets management, least-privilege permissions, and deployment controls \nInfrastructure as Code experience with Terraform or OpenTofu \nExperience with progressive deployment approaches such as canary, blue-green, or rollback automation \nDisaster recovery design and testing for production SaaS \nExperience operating across more than one cloud provider, or designing for portability \nExperience operating a B2B SaaS platform in a regulated environment, including audit-sensitive release processes \nFamiliarity with SOC 2, PCI DSS, or GDPR as they apply to operational practice \nExperience with AI-assisted engineering tools \nAWS certification, particularly DevOps Engineer -
