Platform Engineering at GoCardless

The Platform Engineering team is a unified, globally distributed team, currently located in London, Riga and Lisbon. We work with all other engineering teams to empower them to build, release, run and scale their products, with a strong focus on both strategic project delivery and operational excellence.

Our work is a balance of:

• Project delivery: building new platform components, from initial design to deployment.
• Operational support: keeping our systems healthy and stable through on-call rotations and incident management.
• Business as usual: continuous maintenance, improvements, and support for audits and compliance.

The role

We’re looking for a Senior SRE with deep PostgreSQL expertise to own the reliability, performance and scalability of our database estate. Our databases sit at the heart of a payments platform, so slowdowns and outages directly affect our customers.

You’ll work across our self-managed Stolon clusters and our GCP Cloud SQL fleet. Joining Mollie gives us the opportunity to consolidate, modularise and rethink how we run production databases, and you’ll help us do that while keeping everything reliable.

Tech stack and tools

• PostgreSQL, Stolon, Cloud SQL, PgBouncer
• Python, Ruby, Golang
• Terraform, Atlantis
• GCP
• Kubernetes, GKE
• GitHub, ArgoCD
• Grafana, Prometheus, Datadog

We use a wide range of technologies and will never expect you to have experience with all of them.

What excites us

Skills

• Typically 5+ years of production experience running PostgreSQL, including high availability, replication, and backup and recovery
• Deep knowledge of Postgres ...
