System Reliability Engineer positions focus on delivering results in their domain. This page aggregates open System Reliability Engineer roles and what employers typically expect.
The Role: We're looking for an experienced, AI-native Systems Reliability Engineer to join our Engineering Team. This team works alongside our core development teams to support existing operations, with a mandate for continuous improvement and the goal to create systems that are as "hands-off" as possible. You'll work with our delivery teams throughout the development lifecycle to ensure systems delivered are scalable, robust, and supportable. You'll also work on optimising our software and infrastructure to improve reliability and decrease cost. You are agentic-first. You reach for AI to diagnose, script, automate and document as a matter of course, and you are at home operating within an AI-assisted delivery pipeline. There is an element of working on support issues arising in real time while also participating in DevOps tasks to implement changes and investigate problems. In both instances, the expectation is that AI does the first pass and you direct and verify it. Propellerhead operates a hybrid working model (work from our office and from your own home). While you must be based in Auckland for this role, we warmly welcome applications from across New Zealand and internationally who are planning to relocate to Auckland. This particular role requires regular in-person office attendance. We offer a culture built on trust, continuous learning, and meaningful impact. You'll join a team that values integrity over ego, and clarity over complexity.
