The Opportunity
Our client is  building out a next-generation cloud platform and we’re looking for Site Reliability Engineers — whether you’re sharpening your skills or ready to set the technical direction.
This is more than just cloud support. You’ll be working at the heart of a mission-critical platform that keeps services flowing and scales reliably. Our teams are obsessed with automation, performance, and resilient design — and you’ll have the freedom to shape how we do it.

Where You’ll Work We offer flexible work setups:
  • Auckland: Hybrid (2 days in office per week)
  • Wellington: Office 1–2 days per week, with occasional travel to Auckland
  • Other NZ locations: Fully remote, with 1 or 2 trips to Auckland a year
What You’ll Do In this role, you’ll:
  • Build, scale, and manage containerised environments using AKS 
  • Design and automate infrastructure provisioning with Terraform
  • Develop and maintain event-driven systems using Kafka
  • Drive platform reliability by embedding monitoring, scaling, and self-healing capabilities
  • Improve incident response, resilience testing, and system recovery processes
  • Champion SRE best practices across engineering squads
  • (For senior/lead roles) Mentor engineers and help shape the platform’s technical roadmap
What You’ll Bring We’re keen to hear from engineers with:
  • 3+ years’ experience in SRE, platform, DevOps, or cloud engineering roles
  • Hands-on expertise with Kafka, AKS, and Terraform
  • Strong troubleshooting skills across distributed systems
  • Solid understanding of cloud networking, security, and automation
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines and performance monitoring tools
Bonus: Familiarity with Azure-native services and cloud security practices.

We can only consider candidates who currently reside in New Zealand and have full legal working rights
