Site Reliability Engineering Team Lead

Live Interactive Software is an established leader in the world of crypto iGaming – we’re not just part of the revolution, we’re driving it. What began as a bold team of just three people has grown into a ~70-strong powerhouse of elite engineers, product visionaries, and DevOps experts. Together, we’ve built and scaled mission-critical systems serving tens of thousands of users worldwide.

We design and operate platforms where scalability, reliability, and flexibility are not optional – they’re fundamental. Our culture is built on trust, autonomy, and teamwork – because true innovation only happens when great people work together with ownership and purpose.

Role overview:

We’re looking for an experienced Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) Team Lead to own and evolve reliability as we scale from a fast-moving startup into a larger organization.

This role is about balance:

• Balancing hands-on technical leadership with lightweight structure and process
• Integrating clear operational standards without losing startup speed, autonomy, and ownership
• Leading reliability efforts while enabling teams to ship confidently and fast

You’ll lead the SRE function end-to-end — shaping reliability strategy, mentoring engineers, improving systems, and ensuring production stays healthy as complexity grows.

Key responsibilities:

• Act as a hands-on technical leader, contributing directly to reliability, automation, and infrastructure work
• Ensure high availability, performance, scalability, and security of production systems
• Drive improvements in system resilience, deployment safety, and observability
• Reduce operational load through automation, tooling, and better system design
• Use incidents, metrics, and operational data to guide prioritization
• Software maintenance, security updates, upgrades, and configuration management
• Lead major incident coordination and ensure fast, effective resolution and postmortem analysis
• Lead, mentor, and grow the SRE team as the company scales
• Promote active knowledge sharing and collective ownership

Technical Environment

You’ll work hands-on with a modern, production-critical stack, including:

• Cloud infrastructure

• Containerization & orchestration: Docker, Kubernetes

• IaC & automation: Terraform, Ansible, configuration management tools

• CI/CD: GitLab and automated deployment pipelines

• Observability: Prometheus, Grafana, and similar monitoring tools

• Operating systems & networking: Linux

• Datastores & messaging: MySQL, Kafka, Redis

This role is right for you if you are:

• A strong SRE or platform leader who still loves being hands-on

• Pragmatic about process — you add structure to enable teams, not slow them down

• Comfortable owning incidents, trade-offs, and tough prioritization decisions

• A mentor who builds trust, autonomy, and accountability in teams

• Passionate about reliability and delivery

What you will find:

• A product and a team that will inspire you – so you can do meaningful work with people who
• make you feel appreciated and valuable;
• A healthy and profitable company where team members stay for many years;
• The freedom to work from wherever home is and Work/Life balance;
• A flat structure to do innovative work, be acknowledged, and make a difference;

What else we’re offering you:

• Paid leave – 25 days per year + 1 day every second year at the company (up to 28 days);
• Additional health insurance;
• Lifetime insurance;
• Digital food vouchers;
• Multisport card partially covered by the company;
• Work-from-home option;
• Development and career opportunities: the company covers expenses for certification and
• training relevant to your role at the company;
• Individual budget for Home Office Equipment;
• Employee Referral Program, company team activities, and initiatives;
