Job Title: Senior Site Reliability Engineer
Location: Lagos (Hybrid)
Key Responsibilities
- Lead technical design and implementation for large, high-risk, or high-complexity initiatives that improve the availability, scalability, and resilience of our backend systems
- Design robust service boundaries, define maintainable infrastructure architecture, and guide reliability standards and best practices across the engineering team
- Understand edge cases in money movement and design with operational safety and compliance in mind, not just uptime
- Own observability end-to-end metrics, logging, tracing, and alerting so issues are caught before customers feel them
- Build and refine incident response processes, lead incident diagnosis and resolution in production, and drive thorough postmortems that prevent recurrence
- Work seamlessly with cross-functional partners including product, compliance, finance operations, support, backend engineering, and external providers, communicating clearly and adapting your approach to whoever you are working with
- Collaborate closely with fellow engineers through code and infrastructure review, pairing, and technical discussion, giving and receiving feedback in a way that raises the quality of the team's work, not just your own
- Make sound, well-reasoned decisions on architectural trade-offs, deployment strategies, and rollout safety, and know when to escalate decisions with broader business impact
- Drive capacity planning, performance tuning, and cost-efficiency across infrastructure, balancing reliability against operational spend
- Define and track SLOs/SLIs, and use them to prioritize reliability work against feature delivery
- Mentor other engineers; raise engineering and operational standards and strengthen both the systems you own and the people you work with
Requirements
- Minimum of 7 years of experience in SRE, DevOps, or backend infrastructure roles, with deep expertise in Kubernetes, Docker, and AWS in production environments.
- Strong scripting/programming ability (TypeScript and/or another language used for tooling, automation, or services) to build internal tools and automate operational work
- Practical expertise with PostgreSQL operations at scale, including replication, backup/recovery, performance tuning, and patterns that protect correctness in financial systems
- Practical expertise with Redis for caching, coordination, rate-limiting, and distributed locking, including operating it reliably in production
- Strong command of observability tooling (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, ELK, or equivalent) and a track record of building monitoring that catches problems early
- Demonstrated experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform), and secrets management
- Demonstrated experience in fintech or other high-stakes systems, including provider integration resilience, failover design, and compliance-sensitive infrastructure
- A track record of owning complex, high-stakes incidents from detection through resolution and postmortem, and standing behind the outcomes
- Strong communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across engineering, product, compliance, and external partners
- A demonstrated habit of catching issues before they become incidents, and of treating failure as something to learn from rather than deflect
- Experience mentoring or raising the operational standard of a team, not just delivering individually.
