The role

Resilience Engineering helps Ebury's products and services behave the way they are intended to behave. We work in two areas: In prevention, we give engineering teams the tooling, processes and guidance to make services production ready: SLOs, measurable recovery targets (RPO and RTO), and disaster recovery plans that are actually rehearsed. In remediation, we build the tooling and practices to detect incidents quickly, recover from them, and learn from them. You will join as an engineer, and your work will be measured on the reliability of the services you improve.

What you'll do

Define and track SLOs and error budgets with product teams, starting with Tier 1 services
Build and maintain monitoring, alerting and on-call tooling
Find single points of failure and work with owning teams to remove them
Run and improve incident response, postmortems and follow-up of action items
Plan and run recovery and failover exercises, and record the results as evidence
Build a resilience scorecard so teams can see how ready their services are
Automate repetitive work, including exploring AI-assisted triage over our knowledge base
Write guidelines and coach teams on reliability practices
