Description
Want to deliver tech with purpose, with people who care?
Join us in our mission to create solutions that help keep children safe online.
Who are we? Headquartered in Perth, Australia, Qoria is an ASX listed global leader in child digital safety technology and services. We are a purpose driven business, operating under the ‘Linewize’ brand in North America and Asia Pacific, under the ‘Smoothwall’ brand in the UK, and under the ‘Qoria’ brand in EMEA.

What’s the opportunity? We’re hiring a Senior Site Reliability Engineer to join our Global SRE team — the group responsible for owning the reliability and observability of our software, running at scale all across the world. You’ll work using a DevOps mindset to help teams adopt observability best practices, manage Infrastructure as Code, and be first responders in our Critical Incident Process to ensure children remain protected. Most importantly, you’ll work closely with teams to understand their pain points and design practical solutions that remove friction and improve the reliability of their products.
