Job Description
Come join a team that is striving for operational awesomeness and trying to automate the world. We have a large presence with large cloud vendors. You should have experience with architecture, deployments, and networking in one or more of the major industry vendors. This is an incredible opportunity to use your existing cloud experience and drive the growth of Splunk Cloud.
**What we're looking for**
**NOTE:** **4 x 10h shifts: Wednesday - Saturday/8am-6pm**
We are looking for a TechOps SRE to help maintain, contribute to and improve the next generation of our large scale Cloud offering. You will be working with providers and supporting the infrastructure that powers Splunk's cloud offering.
**You should apply if**
+ **you are comfortable working 4 x 10h shifts: Wednesday - Saturday/8am-6pm**
+ You have operational experience at scale. You have had hands-on roles that deal with operating systems (particularly Linux) and networking. You might also have worked with Cloud technologies. Your previous job titles might be something close to systems admin, network engineer or devops engineer.
+ You're passionate about your work. Our customers are passionate about Splunk and we want the same from our engineers. You should enjoy actively being responsible for your work and be excited about your projects.
+ You love large complex systems. Experience in working on distributed systems or a passion for finding edge cases that appear at scale. You are interested in how to bring something from a small one off task to how to implement it across several thousand machines at once.
+ You have some development skills. We have code in several languages, ranging from Python and Shell to Go and C++. We don't expect you to be a software engineer but you should be familiar with basic programming and understand concepts like input sanitisation and unit testing.
+ "How can I automate this process?" is a question you constantly ask yourself.
+ Data drives your decisions. Data excites you and you make decisions based on numbers rather than assumptions. If an issue arises, you strive to be alerted before our customers notice.
+ You care about monitoring. Shipping code often and getting useful feedback excites you and you're not worried about changing direction when a solution isn't working as expected.
**What we provide**
+ Opportunities to develop and grow as an engineer. We are always expanding into new areas, working with open-source projects and contributing back, and exploring new technologies.
+ A team of incredibly capable and dedicated peers, all the way from engineering to product management and customer support.
+ Breadth and depth. You are interested to work in an area that dynamically scales to meet the need of Splunk's cloud offering. You want to go deep into optimizing how we automate every manual process and tedious task we encounter.
+ Growth and mentorship. We believe in growing engineers through ownership and leadership opportunities. We also believe that mentors help both sides of the equation.
+ A stable, collaborative, and supportive work environment. Honesty and collaboration are values we see as a core part of our team identity. We understand the value in open communication-working together to get things done, and to adapt to the changing needs of the team and individuals. This is reflected in both our internal communications and also in how we interact with our customers.
+ Balance. We don't expect people to work 12 hour days. We want you to be successful outside of work too. We trust our colleagues to be responsible with their time and commitment, and believe that balance helps cultivate a positive environment.
Splunk, a Cisco company, is an Equal Opportunity Employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, genetic information, age, disability, veteran status, or any other legally protected basis.

Job Description
Gizmo is an AI startup on a mission to make learning so easy that anyone can learn anything. We're building Duolingo for anything - a platform that uses gamification and social mechanics to make learning fun.
With over 1 million monthly active users and $4M in annual recurring revenue, we’re already one of the fastest-growing startups in the UK. Backed by leading investors, we recently raised $22M in Series A funding to accelerate our vision of helping 1 billion people learn.
Role Overview
Reporting to the CTO, you will own capacity, performance and reliability for Gizmo’s full-stack platform as daily traffic climbs from hundreds of thousands to millions of users. You’ll write code across the stack, but your charter is classic SRE: defend SLOs , eliminate toil , and raise the ceiling on scale before it becomes a hard limit.
Key Responsibilities
- Define SLIs/SLOs for latency, availability and error rate; codify error budgets and partner with product teams on trade-offs.
- Perform load-testing, capacity modelling and up-front scalability design for PostgreSQL, OpenSearch, Redis, Hasura and CF Workers; produce data-driven scaling plans.
- Extend metrics, structured logging and tracing; establish alert rules that page only on user-visible impact; build actionable runbooks .
- Join the on-call rotation, lead blameless post-mortems, drive remediation work to closure and track MTTR/MTBF improvements.
- Automate repetitive ops on Kubernetes and CI/CD; keep “toil” <50 % of your time by pushing fixes into code.
- Coach full-stack engineers on query optimisation, schema design and back-pressure techniques; document patterns and anti-patterns by creating an SRE playbook
Requirements
- Hands-on scale experience : you have run relational stores at 100 k+ TPS or 1 M+ concurrent users (e.g., multi-tenant PostgreSQL, sharded MySQL).
- Strong backend fundamentals around concurrency, caching, indexing and distributed systems trade-offs.
- Proven track record of setting SLOs, building dashboards (Prometheus/Grafana, OpenTelemetry, etc.) and tuning alerts.
- Comfort with Kubernetes , IaC and cloud-native patterns; can debug from network to application layer.
- Start-up bias for action: you prioritise high-leverage fixes, ship iteratively and own outcomes end-to-end.
- Collaborative and feedback-driven; you welcome post-mortem culture and continuous improvement.
- Driven by impact - you prioritise work that moves the needle!
Nice-to-haves: experience with Hasura internals, Cloudflare Workers edge optimisation, or operating OpenSearch at scale.
Benefits
- Highly competitive salary.
- You'll own a piece of what you're building - equity included.
- Hybrid working model with 4 days in our East London office, ideally located between Shoreditch High Street, Old Street, and Liverpool Street stations.
- The opportunity to become one of the earliest employees in one of the UK’s fastest-growing startups.
- Private health insurance
