The Crown Is Yours

As a Principal Site Reliability Engineer, you'll shape the long-term strategy for the infrastructure behind one of the most demanding platforms in sports betting and gaming. You'll drive the architectural direction of our cloud and on-premise platforms, helping engineering teams build, deploy, and operate highly reliable systems at scale. Working across Platform Engineering and Site Reliability Engineering, you'll influence how we modernize our infrastructure, strengthen operational excellence, and prepare our platform for the next generation of growth.

What you'll do

  • Define and execute the long-term strategy for our Kubernetes platform across Google Kubernetes Engine, Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service, RKE2, and on-premise environments, ensuring reliability, scalability, and operational consistency.
  • Drive architectural decisions across critical infrastructure, including cluster lifecycle management, networking, identity and access management, observability, autoscaling, capacity planning, and cost optimization.
  • Lead large-scale platform initiatives across multiple engineering teams, establishing technical direction, engineering standards, and measurable outcomes that improve platform reliability and developer experience.
  • Establish and evolve reliability practices by defining service level objectives, service level indicators, and error budget frameworks that align platform performance with business priorities.
  • Build automation-first infrastructure through Infrastructure as Code, GitOps workflows, self-healing systems, and internal platform tooling that improve engineering velocity and reduce operational overhead.
  • Champion the responsible adoption of AI-powered engineering capabilities that improve operational efficiency, accelerate incident response, and enhance developer productivity.
  • Lead critical platform incidents, drive post-incident improvements, and strengthen platform resilience through automation, capacity planning, and operational excellence.
  • Mentor senior engineers, influence technical strategy across the organization, and elevate engineering excellence through architecture reviews, coaching, and technical leadership.

What you'll bring

  • A Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or a related technical field.
  • At least 8 years of experience designing, operating, and scaling distributed cloud and on-premise infrastructure, including at least 3 years operating at the Staff, Principal, or equivalent technical leadership level.
  • Proven experience leading large-scale infrastructure or platform initiatives that require cross-functional alignment and long-term technical ownership.
  • Deep expertise with Kubernetes, including cluster architecture, networking, storage, security, operators, lifecycle management, and large-scale production operations.
  • Extensive experience building and operating production infrastructure in AWS and Google Cloud Platform using Infrastructure as Code technologies such as Terraform, Pulumi, or similar tools.
  • Strong software development experience in Go, Python, or both, with expertise in GitOps, continuous integration and continuous delivery, observability, distributed systems, Linux, and reliability engineering principles.
  • Experience incorporating AI-powered tools into engineering workflows while applying sound judgment around reliability, security, and operational risk.
  • Exceptional communication and leadership skills with a proven ability to mentor engineers, influence technical strategy, and drive engineering excellence. Experience working in regulated industries, hybrid cloud environments, contributing to open-source projects, or holding cloud certifications is preferred.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
