About the role

Job Description: Intellibus designs and engineers platforms trusted by established FinTech and financial-services firms. Our engineering teams build systems that support mission-critical business operations, data-intensive applications, and financial technology platforms. We value engineers who combine strong technical fundamentals with ownership, sound judgment, and the ability to deliver reliable production systems. The Reliability Engineer RoleWe are hiring a hands-on Reliability Engineer to improve the availability, performance, resilience, and operational stability of enterprise applications and cloud platforms. You will work across cloud infrastructure, application monitoring, incident management, automation, and data platforms to identify reliability risks and deliver measurable improvements. This is an engineering role for someone who can troubleshoot complex issues, automate repetitive operational work, and implement lasting solutions rather than simply respond to alerts. Experience with Microsoft Azure, Python, SQL, and data-intensive applications will be particularly valuable. What You Will DoReliability & Production Engineering Monitor application health, availability, latency, and system performance. Troubleshoot production incidents, perform root-cause analysis, and implement preventive measures. Improve system resilience through fault analysis, capacity planning, and recovery strategies. Establish and maintain service-level indicators (SLIs), service-level objectives (SLOs), and operational standards.|Cloud & Platform Engineering Support and optimize cloud-hosted applications and services on Microsoft Azure. Automate infrastructure and operational tasks using Python and scripting. Improve deployment reliability, configuration management, and release processes. Identify bottlenecks across applications, databases, integrations, and cloud infrastructure.
Monitoring & Automation: Develop monitoring, alerting, logging, and operational dashboards. Reduce manual intervention through automation and repeatable operational workflows. Participate in incident reviews and translate findings into engineering improvements.
Data & AI Platform Reliability:
  • Support the reliability and performance of data-intensive applications involving SQL, data modeling, and Microsoft Fabric.
  • Help monitor data pipelines, integration workflows, and data-processing failures.
  • Where applicable, support operational monitoring of AI/LLM-enabled services and their dependencies.
  • What Sets You ApartWe are looking for engineers who demonstrate several of the following:
  • You have hands-on experience supporting production applications or cloud platforms.
  • You can troubleshoot complex technical issues and identify root causes independently.
  • You have practical experience with Microsoft Azure and Python scripting.
  • You understand SQL, databases, data flows, and performance troubleshooting.
  • You can automate operational tasks instead of relying on manual processes.
  • You understand monitoring, incident response, capacity planning, and reliability engineering.
  • You take ownership of issues through resolution and prevention.
  • You communicate clearly with developers, infrastructure engineers, and business stakeholders.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
