Site Reliability Engineer in London

Join us on the Splunk TechOps team, empowering our customers to execute our vision making machine data accessible, usable, and valuable to everyone! The Splunk TechOps organization runs Splunk cloud, blending SRE, Systems Engineering and Service Engineering disciplines, across functional global teams. 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.

Your Impact: 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.

Minimum Qualifications:

• 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 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.

Desirable Characteristics:

• 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.
• 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.
• "How can I automate this process?" is a question you constantly ask yourself.

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.
• 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.
