About the Role
Intermedia’s Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) play a critical role in ensuring the reliability, availability, scalability, and performance of our most important applications and services. As an SRE at Intermedia, you will focus on improving application reliability and operational excellence, working closely with software engineering, platform, and DevOps teams to design, monitor, automate, and continuously enhance service stability. You will apply engineering principles to operations, reduce manual effort, strengthen observability, and minimize downtime, ensuring our services are resilient and ready to support our customers at all times. This role is a strong fit for someone who is hands-on, highly analytical, and comfortable working across application, platform, and operational boundaries to improve production reliability at scale. While primarily remote, this role requires occasional visits to the office in Coimbra. We plan to open offices in Aveiro and Porto in the future. This approach gives team members the flexibility to work remotely while also coming together in the office for collaboration and teamwork.
