  • You've been working in an area that's given you a background in some or all of: operating systems (particularly Linux), networking and cloud architecture. Your previous job titles might be something close to Systems Admin, Network Engineer or DevOps Engineer.
  • You like working on small teams where you are able to have significant impact on design decisions and the direction of the platform.
  • You've worked with Splunk as a platform before or are interested in both monitoring a systems observability.

Projects you might work on:

  • Development and implementation of backup strategy.
  • Working with our Core product engineering teams to optimise new product releases for cloud architecture.
  • Development of new puppet modules.

The interview process:

  • You can expect an initial response from our recruitment team.
  • If selected a direct discussion with your potential team's leader to ask all those questions that you’ll no doubt have.
  • An opportunity to speak directly to one of your possible peers within the SRE team that will focus on some of your experience and problem solving approach. There will not be ‘quick fire’ questions. This can be achieved either in person or virtually.
  • You'll be invited to an in person interview at our London office. This will be around 90 minutes. During this you’ll get the opportunity to meet some of the team you'd be working with as well as some of the other local teams. The interview will not include elaborate technical quick fire questions, whiteboard code tests or pair programming. If you do have recent projects that you think you’d like to discuss and would aid your application feel free to bring details of those along!
