With about 200 talented people across three countries, premium AI capabilities and a diverse portfolio of international clients, we define, design and ship high-quality digital products, strategies and software. From global cloud-based platforms and large-scale apps to medical devices, banking software and augmented reality experiences. In a nutshell: if it lives and breathes digital, it’s what we do best.\nBecome a part of our team\nAt In The Pocket, you join a multidisciplinary team of designers, engineers, strategists and data specialists who care about the work as much as the people they work with. We work in small, autonomous teams that stay close to our clients and their users, and we give everyone the space to take ownership, speak up and grow. You’ll learn from colleagues across our studios, ship products that reach thousands or even millions of people and help shape what digital can do for leading organisations in Europe.\nWhat you’ll do \nWe're building a brand-new RUN team from the ground up, a dedicated operational function that owns the after-care of the products we run, both our own and the ones we host or operate for customers. As one of the first people on the team, you won't inherit a fixed playbook: you'll write it, shaping how the team works, the practices and tooling it adopts, and how operational excellence becomes part of how we build and run products. It's a hands-on, senior role where you set the technical and operational direction for a small team of two to three people, leading by expertise and example rather than as a manager. AI is transforming how we work, and you'll bring that same fluency to how the RUN team operates from day one. If defining a new discipline energises you more than maintaining an established one, this is your challenge.\nTake operational ownership of internal and hosted products in production, keeping them reliable, secure, performant and cost-effective.\nOwn the incident lifecycle end to end (detection, response, mitigation, resolution and blameless post-mortems) using incident.io, and take part in a fair, sustainable on-call rotation.\nDefine and operationalise SLIs, SLOs and error budgets, and be a key figure in maintenance and SLA presales, shaping proposals, contracts and framework agreements.\nBuild and maintain a modern observability stack with a strong focus on OpenTelemetry.\nGrow a platform engineering and inner-sourcing culture: reusable components (e.g. GitLab components, Terraform modules), self-service golden paths and production-readiness scorecards for product teams.\nWork hands-on across CI/CD, infrastructure as code, cloud-native architecture and networking, and design for resilience, performance and scale.\nEmbed security into everything you run, secrets management, scanning (SAST/DAST), penetration tests and vulnerability remediation.\nReduce toil through automation and an AI-first approach to operations, keeping a close feedback loop with the development teams.\nPlay an enabling role in setting and enforcing best practices when it comes to end-to-end incident management.\nWho you are \nYou won't tick every box on day one, depth in the core matters more than breadth across all of it, and you'll grow the team's capabilities around the gaps.\nA senior DevOps / SRE engineer with proven, hands-on experience running products in production and owning their reliability.\nEnergised by building and shaping a new team and discipline, and comfortable setting direction where none exists yet.\nAI-native in how you work, AI is part of your daily craft, and you apply it to operations, automation and reliability.\nStrong on incident management (incident.io a plus) and experienced with maintenance/SLA contracts, framework agreements and presales, including SLIs and SLOs.\nDeep observability expertise (ideally OpenTelemetry), with a broad hands-on foundation across cloud-native (GCP or AWS), CI/CD and IaC (GitLab, Terraform), networking and resilience.\nSecurity-minded, scanning (SAST/DAST), penetration testing, secrets and vulnerability management.\nA platform engineering mindset, self-service capabilities, reusable components and inner sourcing.\nA collaborative communicator who works well with development teams, client partners and customer operations teams.\nWhat we offer \nJoining In The Pocket means becoming part of a team that shapes the future of our clients’ businesses across Europe. Here’s what you can look forward to:\nYou’ll start with a permanent contract in a role that comes with responsibility and the opportunity to make a real impact from day one.\nWe offer a competitive salary that reflects your experience and the value you bring.\nOur benefits package has you covered with hospitalisation and group insurance, meal vouchers, a phone subscription, and more.\nYou’ll have a mobility budget that lets you decide how to get around, your way. \nLife at In The Pocket isn’t just about work, we host team events throughout the year to celebrate, connect, and have fun together.\nLearning never stops here, so after six months, you’ll receive a dedicated learning and development budget to keep growing your skills and exploring new horizons.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5334,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["UI/UX Design","Custom Software Development"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-07-08T11:55:24Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":10,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.359,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":115,"expected_fill_days":35,"reasons":["conf:0","stale_co","velocity","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-01T06:10:25Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/in-the-pocket-senior-site-reliability-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/in-the-pocket-senior-site-reliability-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-01T16:07:55Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":24809,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-02T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":54414},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=54414"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fin-the-pocket-senior-site-reliability-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fin-the-pocket-senior-site-reliability-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fin-the-pocket-senior-site-reliability-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/in-the-pocket-senior-site-reliability-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fin-the-pocket-senior-site-reliability-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":155678}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"inthepocket.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":155678},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
