Engineering at Finary
As Finary’s first Site Reliability Engineer, you’ll be the cornerstone of our technical infrastructure, ensuring our platform remains highly available, performant, and secure for our customers. Working directly with the VP of Engineering, you’ll build and implement the systems, processes, and culture that define reliability at Finary.
You’ll establish and enforce reliability standards across our technology stack, implement robust observability solutions, and drive a culture of operational excellence. By bridging the gap between development and operations, you’ll enable our engineering teams to deliver features faster while maintaining stability.
In this highly independent position, you’ll architect and implement solutions using GCP, Kubernetes, Terraform, and Docker, creating scalable infrastructure that grows with our user base. You’ll define and measure SLOs/SLIs, build automated recovery systems, streamline incident response processes, and continuously optimize infrastructure costs.
Beyond technical implementation, you’ll be a thought leader for reliability practices, collaborating with all engineering teams to embed reliability thinking into our development lifecycle from the start, not as an afterthought..
