The Role
We’re hiring a Senior SRE to own the reliability, scalability, and performance of our production systems as we continue to grow.
At Lyrebird, you won’t just respond to incidents. You’ll design the systems and standards that prevent them. That means building infrastructure that scales cleanly, creating deployment patterns that reduce risk, and ensuring we can detect and resolve issues before they impact users.
This is a broad role that sits across platform engineering, DevOps, and security. You’ll be responsible for ensuring our systems are resilient under load, observable in real time, and able to scale as usage increases.
You’ll play a key role in how we get code from a developer’s machine into production safely, and how we operate those systems once they’re live.
About UsLyrebird Health builds AI-powered tools that reduce the administrative burden on clinicians and improve the quality and accessibility of healthcare.
Our platform is used by thousands of clinicians across multiple markets. As we grow, we’re focused on building systems that are reliable, scalable, and trusted in high-stakes environments.
What you'll do
Keep production systems online and restore them quickly when they fail
Lead and manage incidents, making high-quality decisions under pressure
Design and implement scalable infrastructure and deployment patterns
Build and improve CI/CD pipelines and release systems
Improve monitoring, telemetry, and observability across the stack
Own cloud infrastructure, security, and access controls
Work closely with engineers to ensure systems are built to scale from day one
What you'll bring
5–7 years experience in SRE, platform engineering, or DevOps roles
Strong AWS experience (ECS/Fargate, EC2, Lambda, SQS, IAM)
Experience running and scaling production systems
Strong understanding of distributed systems and scaling approaches
Hands-on experience with Docker and containerised environments
Experience with Kubernetes or ECS
How you work
You take ownership and follow things through
You’re proactive and comfortable operating with ambiguity
You stay calm and make good decisions during incidents
You focus on solving problems end to end
You’re willing to roll up your sleeves and get into the detail
This is a critical hire for us as we scale.
If you want real ownership over how systems are designed, deployed, and operated, and the opportunity to build reliability into a product used in high-stakes environments, we’d love to hear from you.
We’re building a team that reflects the diversity of the people who use our product. If you’re from an underrepresented background in tech, we strongly encourage you to apply, even if you don’t meet every requirement.
