Shazam Site Reliability Engineers are not just responsible for making sure all services and systems that Shazam relies on are operating at their highest level; they’re also responsible for helping development teams embrace these principles as they develop software. Shazam SREs embed themselves with development teams and act as extensions of those teams to propagate best practices. As an SRE, you’ll collaborate with development teams to help them understand the bigger picture of distributed systems, beyond individual components. We are strong believers in ownership with software engineers being responsible for the code they write. The SRE team helps build the competencies across teams to ensure we build scalable and supportable systems. This role sits in our London office reporting to our Head of SRE. The successful candidate will be assisting multiple development teams based in London, San Diego and other locations. They'll work to build and maintain key backend systems, as well as participate in all stages of development cycles - from feature design all the way to production release. You will be expected to write and review code and deeply understand how our applications work. This role offers the potential for leadership opportunities, so if you have an interest in leading a team or taking on managerial responsibilities in the future, we’d love to hear from you.
