Instead of assembling and maintaining a complex stack of payments-related apps and services, we’re a Merchant of Record for our customers. That means we take away 100% of the pain of payment fragmentation. It’s faster, safer, cheaper, and, above all, way better.\nWe’re backed by investors including KKR, FTV Capital, Kindred, Notion, and 83North and serve over 6000 software sellers in 245 territories globally.\nThe Role:\nAs a Site Reliability Engineer, you’ll be helping to drive our product and engineering department forward, ensuring reliability on different parts of the Paddle platform and helping our Engineers to work better and more efficiently. We’re looking for somebody who spent the start of their career writing, running and debugging software that’s made the move to specialise as an SRE.\nPaddle SRE team’s role is “Everything SRE”, with a focus on infrastructure, reliability standards, and practices. The SRE team is part of the Platform function. By following this model:\nIt’s easy to spot patterns and draw similarities between services and projects.\n\nWe act as a glue between disparate product teams, creating solutions out of distinct pieces of software.\n\nEnable product engineers to use modern practices to maintain user-facing products without divergence in practice across the business.\n\nDefine production standards as code and work to smooth out any sharp edges to greatly simplify things for the product engineers running their services.\n\nYou are empowered to use the right tech for the job. You’ll have the freedom to input into what technology and tooling are used and educate the rest of your colleagues accordingly.\nAs an SRE, we want you to be a driving force of improving and automating how our product teams develop software at all stages of its lifecycle, which we strive to achieve with strong collaboration and communication with our fellow engineers.\nTech Stack:\nGo for our new services\n\nPHP Laravel for our Classic system\n\nAurora MySQL and PostgreSQL for persistent data storage\n\nDocker in production and local development\n\nAWS ECS Fargate for our runtime\n\nAWS SQS for asynchronous message queues\n\nAWS EventBridge for our event bus\n\nRedis for key/value store\n\nTerraform for resource management\n\nHoneycomb, SLOs and OpenTelemetry for our observability needs\n\nCloudflare for our firewall and DNS server\n\nWhat you'll do:\nDevelop and maintain tools to maximise engineering efficiency; such as but not limited to automating deployment infrastructure and database upgrades\n\nSeek out processes that can be improved with automation and have internal Developer Experience as a main driver. Collaborate and enable engineers to do their jobs more efficiently, working with other engineers on a regular basis\n\nCreate, maintain and test our system disaster recovery process, including tooling to automate the process\n\nYou’ll be able to choose from a selection of AI tools to support day-to-day work (e.g. code generation, investigation, automation, and documentation), and we’ll back sensible experimentation with the right guardrails.\n\nHandle production incidents, author blameless postmortems and enrich operational playbooks and runbooks\n\nMonitoring, alerting, and SLO tracking; hands-on SRE work, not just DevOps-style monitoring\n\nRun performance investigations (load testing, bottleneck analysis) and drive tuning across apps, data stores and AWS.\n\nOwn cost optimisation workstreams: right-sizing, autoscaling policies, workload scheduling, storage tiering, and identifying waste across ECS/Fargate, RDS/Aurora, SQS and observability.\n\nBe an advocate of the GitOps methodology\n\nWe'd love to hear from you if you:\nA significant software development background, with experience shipping and operating production services, plus strong fundamentals in testing, code review, CI/CD, and debugging.\n\nHave experience working across the AWS ecosystem, partnering closely with AWS Solution Architects and subject-matter experts to design, review, and operate production systems\n\nA curiosity about AI and how it’s reshaping software development.\n\nCollaborative, security-minded, and detail-oriented. We move quickly, so you’ll thrive if you enjoy a fast-paced environment and take pride in doing things the right way.\n\nKnowledge of platform and ops concepts such as networking and Linux administration\n\nExperience working with microservices and distributed systems at scale\n\nExperience with monitoring tools: we use Opentelemetry, Honeycomb, Grafana, Pingdom and Incident.io\n\nEveryone is welcome at Paddle\nAt Paddle, we’re committed to removing invisible barriers, both for our customers and within our own teams.
