Staff Site Reliability Engineer - Cloud Efficiency

• Strong SRE or infrastructure engineering background with deep experience operating, debugging, and reasoning about large-scale distributed systems in production
• Demonstrated cloud cost optimisation at scale: commitment strategy, right-sizing, spot/preemptible, autoscaling, storage tiering, and data-transfer/egress - the full surface, not just the obvious line items
• Architectural judgement - the ability to look at a system and identify when the infrastructure is wrong for the workload (over-provisioned, mis-chosen, or carried over from a context that no longer applies) and to propose what it should be instead
• Highly proficient with infrastructure as code; significant experience with AWS
• Familiarity with the cost and performance trade-offs of common data stores (PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka, DynamoDB, OpenSearch) - enough to influence which should be used and why
• The interpersonal range to operate across teams you do not own: building rapport, reading the organisation, coordinating before making changes, and influencing without leaning on authority
• Comfortable with both managed services and self-hosted components

• Experience with additional cloud providers (GCP, Azure)
• Strong automation skills in Go and/or Python
• Experience embedding efficiency and policy guardrails directly into CI/CD pipelines

We are on a mission to pioneer the world's next era of play. As we grow across Europe and Latin America, we're building The Playstack - the technology powering the next generation of sports, gaming, and fan experiences. Join us, and help make it the most widely used platform in the world! From operations, to marketing, to product, we are looking for talented people who will shape how millions of customers play, watch, and connect every day.

.We are looking for a Staff SRE - Cloud Efficiency to own cloud efficiency across our infrastructure platform - thousands of services running on several Kubernetes clusters across multiple regions. This is a hands-on engineering role with real autonomy, sitting at the intersection of our SRE, Product, and Engineering teams. The work you do here will directly shape the efficiency and cost posture of the entire platform.

• Own the cloud efficiency roadmap end to end: identify the highest-leverage opportunities, coordinate with owning teams, and execute
• Partner with our FinOps function to turn their findings into implemented change, and feed engineering-level insight back to them
• Surface software architectural mismatches that cause inefficiencies that billing analysis alone cannot catch
• Own commitment and purchasing strategy (Savings Plans, Reserved Instances, and equivalents) in partnership with Platform and FinOps
• Improve the guardrails, automation, and cost attribution that enable teams to see and own their own spend
• Drive Kubernetes efficiency at scale: resource hygiene, bin-packing, autoscaling, and right-sizing across multiple clusters
