Site Reliability Engineer

We are on a mission to liberate businesses and people to do their best work.

We are an ambitious, international team with more than 30 nationalities represented today. We believe that people do their best work when they're given the freedom to thrive and grow. Thinking big, bringing a positive attitude, and taking full ownership are three characteristics that thread our team together.

Founded in 2016 Spendesk today serves thousands of businesses in Europe and the US, and we recently raised a further ?100m investment bringing our series C funding to over ?200m and in the process becoming one of Europe's latest Tech Unicorns. Our team of 350+ Spendeskers is spread across four offices in Paris, Berlin, London and San Francisco, alongside many teammates working remotely from various cities in Europe.

And we're growing fast. Come join us!

As the Spendesk customer base grows, our platform scales up and new features are developed, the need for Site Reliability Engineering becomes vital. We are currently searching for a Site Reliability Engineer to join our Platform team of 3 engineers.

The team is led by Victor Demonchy, based in France and mainly working remotely with the team meeting at the Paris office. As a SRE, you will primarily focus on providing a robust and scalable platform to host Spendesk services, as well as ensuring the good health of our infrastructure and applications. Since the team directly supports the development teams internally, you will also be responsible for ensuring a smooth developer experience from local environments all the way to production.

Working closely with other teams in the Product, Data & Engineering (PDE) organisation requires good communication skills, being inquisitive and a problem solver. You will work with your team to define and implement the roadmap with quarterly objectives. In addition, you will be expected to put the monitoring/observability principles at the core of our engineering culture. You will also be expected to participate in the rituals of the teams including planning, grooming,
