Site Reliability Engineer

You open your laptop on Monday and find out the primary database failed at 3am on Sunday. Services reconnected in seconds and no customer noticed a thing. Wed practised exactly that failover the week before.

If thats your idea of a good weekend we should talk.

Anyfin helps people refinance expensive consumer credit on better terms. Since 2017 weve helped people across Sweden Finland and Germany take back control of their finances. Were profitable we have a banking licence that lets us operate across the EU and were getting ready to launch new products and enter new markets. Our ambition is to be a pan-European company by 2030.

Every one of those steps puts more weight on our platform: more traffic more integrations more markets and more regulators who expect us to prove that were resilient not just say it.

The team is small and intentionally so. Wed rather grow what each engineer can do than how many engineers we have.

Youll own reliability across the platform. That covers how our services run on Kubernetes and GCP how we deploy how we scale and how we recover when something breaks. Youll decide what reliable enough means for each part of the system and make it measurable.

Youll make problems visible before customers feel them. That means monitoring alerting and logging that tell us whats wrong and why not dashboards nobody opens. When an alert fires it should matter.

Youll make incidents boring. Youll shape how we respond who gets paged how we communicate and how we learn. That means blameless reviews that lead to real changes not just documents.

Youll build the paved road. Engineers should be able to ship safely and quickly without thinking about infrastructure every time. Youll work on CI/CD infrastructure as code and the tooling that makes the right way the easy way.

Youll help us meet the bar a bank is held to. As a regulated lender operational resilience isnt optional. Youll help us turn requirements like DORA into systems and practices that actually work not just policies we can point to.

Youll keep an eye on cost. Scaling into new markets shouldnt mean scaling our cloud bill at the same rate.

AI isnt a side tool here. Its built into how we work across engineering analytics operations and product and our tech team has built an AI-connected data and code environment on frontier models.

That shows up in reliability work too. AI can help read logs trace incidents and draft runbooks faster than any of us. It also means more systems in production act on data without questioning it and more automation can change things on its own.

Part of this role is working out what reliability means in that world: where AI makes us faster where it needs guardrails and how we make sure were never the last to know when something goes wrong.

Youll work closely with backend engineers data engineers product teams and our engineering managers who care a lot about getting things right. Sometimes a little too much. Propose a new alert and someone will ask how many times it would have fired last month. We prefer it that way.

Theyre also generous with what they know quick to laugh and happy to change their minds when you make a better case. As long as you can back it up.

You have solid experience in SRE platform or infrastructure engineering ideally in a product company where reliability directly affects customers. Youve run production workloads on Kubernetes in a cloud environment and are comfortable with infrastructure as code.

You write real code not just YAML. Our main stack is TypeScript Python and Go running on Kubernetes and GCP. Experience with GCP and Terraform is a plus but you dont need to know every technology in our stack. Youre comfortable reading debugging and improving services and the judgment you bring matters more than ticking every box.

Youve built observability that people actually use and youve been on call for systems that mattered. You know the difference between an alert and noise.

Youre pragmatic. You care about reliability but you know 100% uptime isnt the goal and that over-engineering has a cost too. You can explain that trade-off to engineers and non-engineers alike.

Experience from fintech banking or another regulated environment is a plus but not a requirement.

More than anything you can tell us about a system you made more reliable. Not just what you changed but what it made possible for the team and the business.

This role is based at our office on Drottninggatan 92 in Stockholm and we work from the office. We think great teams and culture are built when people meet in person especially at this stage.

EU work authorisation is required.

If youd rather prevent the next incident than write the postmortem for it wed love to hear from you.
