Site Reliability Engineer

Job Description

Oak’s websites provide free educational resources to teachers and pupils, and we want to ensure we are providing them with the high level of service they deserve.

You will have a passion for SRE principles, and help define organisational strategy. You will lead on bringing our monitoring up to a high, consistent standard across all our key applications while also working closely with our product squads to help them improve the stability and security of their applications, providing mentoring, and promoting a sense of ownership of operational concerns in the squads.

You will also contribute to CI/CD best practice and automation and work alongside colleagues to help improve the usability, security and performance of our platform, infrastructure and tooling.

Candidates must have a good understanding of SRE principles and the value they bring to an organisation. While a good grounding in development practices, security fundamentals and infrastructure operation are key, specific technical skills are less important than a passion for automation, an ability to understand complex systems and a keenness to learn.

We do things differently at Oak and are always looking to improve our ways of working and challenge the status quo. Why not join us and be part of an innovative organisation working to support teachers and improve pupils’ access to quality education?

PLEASE NOTE THAT WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CLOSE THIS ROLE EARLY IF WE RECEIVE A HIGH RESPONSE

We’re actively looking for candidates from diverse backgrounds to work with us to shape Oak’s future. Apply for this role through Applied, a hiring platform we use that’s designed to remove bias from the recruitment process and create a fair experience for everyone.

We offer flexible working where you can base yourself at home or in a co-working office of your choice; whichever works best for you. We work a 36-hour a week and most colleagues finish early on a Friday or take every other Friday back to ensure they keep a healthy work-life balance. We believe in continually getting better as an organisation and as individuals and so there are plenty of opportunities for growth and a generous Learning and Development policy. Our team is supported with generous maternity, paternity and adoption leave so that their families get a fantastic start.
