Senior Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) | Feeld

GT was founded in 2019 by a former Apple, Nest, and Google executive. GT’s mission is to connect the world’s best talent with product careers offered by high-growth companies in the UK, USA, Canada, Germany, and the Netherlands.

On behalf of Feeld , GT is looking for a Senior Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) to join a fast-growing consumer mobile product in the online dating space.

About the Client

Founded in 2014 as a dating app, Feeld gathered millions of users in one place to create a safer and more inclusive space online for everyone open to experiencing people and relationships in a new way. Their mission is to elevate the human experience of sexuality and relationships and create a world where everyone is more intimately connected to each other and themselves.

About the Project

You'll join a consumer mobile product with an engineering and product organization of around 50 people distributed across Europe, the US, and LATAM.

The engineering organization works in small, autonomous product squads supported by a Platform Team responsible for the underlying infrastructure, reliability, and shared engineering capabilities.

Because the team operates across multiple regions without a full follow-the-sun model, strong observability, monitoring, and reliable incident response are essential.

From a technical perspective, the team is focused on building reliable, observable systems that allow engineers to identify issues early, understand their impact, and respond quickly when incidents occur.

• Technology stack: Node.js, TypeScript, NestJS, AWS, Cloudflare, CloudWatch, Sentry, OpenTelemetry, and Amplitude. React Native is used on the mobile side.

• Team: You'll join the Platform Team, working closely with cross-functional product squads distributed across Europe, the US, and LATAM.

About the Role

We are looking for an experienced Site Reliability Engineer with a strong backend engineering background in Node.js and TypeScript to join the Platform Team.

The ideal profile is someone who started in backend/software engineering and has moved into SRE or reliability-focused work, combining a strong understanding of application code with hands-on experience in observability, infrastructure, system architecture, and production incident management.

You will help design, build, and improve the platform's reliability and observability capabilities, supporting critical services and user journeys across the product.

Beyond maintaining existing infrastructure and monitoring solutions, the role requires the ability to architect and implement new reliability solutions, making technical decisions and building capabilities from the ground up where needed.

An important part of the role is being able to interpret production signals, identify when something is going wrong, and begin mitigating incidents independently while bringing in the wider engineering team when needed.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and improve reliability and observability solutions across the platform.

• Contribute to the architecture of infrastructure, monitoring, and reliability capabilities, including designing and implementing new solutions from scratch.

• Define, build, and maintain meaningful metrics, dashboards, and alerts for critical services and user journeys.

• Define and maintain SLIs/SLOs for key services and product-level metrics.

• Improve monitoring, logging, distributed tracing, and alerting across the platform.

• Leverage observability and product analytics tools to identify reliability issues and understand their impact on users.

• Act as a first responder for critical P0/P1 production incidents, including out-of-hours incidents.

• Investigate production signals, identify potential root causes, and begin mitigating issues independently.

• Coordinate with other engineers when broader support or escalation is required.

• Participate in incident triage, mitigation, and postmortems.

• Identify recurring reliability issues and drive improvements to infrastructure, tooling, system architecture, and incident-response processes.

• Collaborate closely with backend engineers, product squads, and other members of the Platform Team.

Essential knowledge, skills & experience

• Strong previous experience as a Backend / Software Engineer , with senior-level hands-on experience in Node.js and TypeScript , ideally including NestJS.

• Hands-on experience working in an SRE, Production Engineering, or similar reliability-focused role .

• Strong production experience with AWS .

• Experience with Cloudflare and CloudWatch .

• Practical experience with Sentry, OpenTelemetry, and Amplitude .

• Strong understanding of observability across metrics, logging, distributed tracing, and alerting .

• Experience designing or architecting infrastructure, reliability, or observability solutions, including building new capabilities from scratch.

• Practical experience responding to production incidents, including triage, mitigation, and postmortems .

• Ability to interpret monitoring signals and independently investigate and begin resolving production issues.

• Understanding of both the application and infrastructure layers rather than infrastructure-only experience.

• Strong problem-solving and technical decision-making skills, with the ability to design scalable and maintainable solutions.

• Strong communication skills and the ability to work autonomously within a distributed engineering team.

• Comfortable participating in out-of-hours incident response as part of the team's coverage model.

Nice-to-have

• Experience defining SLIs and SLOs for product-level metrics.

• Experience with React Native or exposure to mobile application environments.

• Previous experience with consumer mobile products or high-traffic B2C systems.
