Over 150,000 clients have trusted us with over £3.5 billion in assets - and we're just getting started.\nWe've been featured by MoneyWeek, Finder and Forbes, and we're growing fast with big ambitions.\nAbout the role\nInvestEngine is growing fast, and so is our engineering team. That means more infrastructure to run, more services to keep healthy and more requests from the people who build on top of it. We're adding a Middle SRE / DevOps Engineer to the DevOps team to keep our cloud platform safe, observable and reliable day to day, and to make it a little better every week.\nYou'll join a small, senior team, report to the DevOps Team Lead and get hands-on onboarding from experienced engineers. Our platform runs mainly on AWS, with some GCP. This is a hands-on role with no people management. It suits someone who cares what happens to a system after the change is shipped, not just whether the ticket is closed.\nWhat you'll do\nRun and maintain our cloud infrastructure, mainly on AWS (EC2, VPC, IAM, S3, Route 53, CloudFront), with some GCP.\n\nCarry out planned maintenance: OS patching, updates and upgrades, backup checks and audit checks.\n\nVerify that MySQL backups actually restore and that failover works - safely, without putting production at risk.\n\nLook after monitoring and logging in Grafana and ELK: tune alerts, cut noise and turn signals into action.\n\nHandle requests from developers, Operations and our managed service partner, including access and permissions.\n\nAutomate repetitive work with Python and Bash, and manage configuration with Ansible and Terraform.\n\nTake part in incident response and follow-ups, and help prevent the same issue from happening twice.\n\nGrow into owning a defined part of our infrastructure end to end.\n\nRoughly 60% of your time goes to planned maintenance and improvements, and up to 40% to incoming requests. Coding is limited to infrastructure as code and automation scripts.\nYour first 3 months\nWeeks 1-2: onboarding, access and security training, runbook review, your first supervised low-risk change and shadowing incident response.\n\nMonth 1: handle routine maintenance on your own and fix at least one documented operational gap.\n\nMonths 2-3: own an agreed area of the infrastructure and ship at least one meaningful reliability, visibility or automation improvement.\n\nWhat we're looking for\n3+ years of hands-on experience with cloud and Linux infrastructure in production (web products or similar).\n\nPractical AWS experience: you can operate and troubleshoot core services, networking and permissions.\n\nConfident with Docker: runtime, resources, logs and health checks.\n\nExperience with Ansible for repeatable, idempotent configuration.\n\nMonitoring and logging with Grafana and ELK - you know the difference between a signal and noise.\n\nScripting in Python and/or Bash to automate operational work, with safety checks built in.\n\nMySQL in high-availability setups: backups, restores, replication and failover.\n\nA safety-first approach to production changes: plan, validate, roll back and escalate when needed.\n\nOwnership of what you run after it ships, plus clear written and spoken communication.\n\nEnglish at B2 level or higher and fluent Russian.\n\nAvailability during UK working hours, and readiness to help with rare out-of-hours incidents.\n\nYou don't need an \"SRE\" job title. Strong Linux/UNIX administrators who meet these requirements are very welcome to apply.\nNice to have\nTerraform (working with existing modules is enough; you won't need to build them from scratch).\n\nKubernetes.\n\nGCP or other cloud providers.\n\nUnderstanding of CI/CD pipelines.\n\nCloud security best practices.\n\nZabbix.\n\nExperience in fintech or another regulated industry (not required).\n\nOur stack\nCloud: AWS (EC2, VPC, IAM, S3, Route 53, CloudFront), some GCP\nContainers: Docker\nConfig & IaC: Ansible, Terraform\nObservability: Grafana, ELK, Zabbix\nData: MySQL (HA setups)\nAutomation: Python, Bash\nWhat we offer\nReal impact early on: you'll own part of the platform that thousands of investors rely on.\n\nRoom to grow towards Senior SRE, with support from experienced DevOps engineers.\n\nA say in how we run and improve our infrastructure.\n\nA modern cloud stack and time set aside for improvements, not just firefighting.\n\nFully remote work with UK-hours overlap.\n\nUnlimited vacation.\n\nA friendly, supportive engineering team.\n\nHiring process\nHR interview with the Talent team\n\nGamified cognitive assessment\n\nTechnical interview with the DevOps team\n\nFinal conversation with the
