SRE Product Lead

What You'll Own

You'll work closely with the founder and engineering team to define and build the next generation of SREMonitor.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Define and evolve SLIs, SLOs and error-budget capabilities for websites and digital services.
• Design synthetic monitoring using Playwright, including browser-based checks and automated user journeys.
• Identify critical user journeys such as login, registration, search, checkout, form submission and payment flows, and translate them into measurable reliability journeys.
• Define appropriate SLIs and SLOs for individual user journeys.
• Design multi-step synthetic tests covering availability, latency, failures and expected page behaviour.
• Contribute to website development and understand modern web architectures, APIs and browser behaviour.
• Develop website performance monitoring around metrics such as Core Web Vitals.
• Help design multi-region uptime and availability monitoring.
• Define alerting strategies that reduce noise and focus on genuine customer impact.
• Help evolve dashboards and reporting for reliability, availability and performance.
• Work with engineering to translate product requirements into deliverable features.

Compliance Monitoring

SREMonitor combines traditional reliability monitoring with website compliance monitoring, so familiarity with web privacy and compliance is important.

You should have an understanding of:

• UK GDPR / GDPR
• Website privacy requirements
• Cookie compliance and consent
• Cookie banners and Consent Management Platforms (CMPs)
• Identification of cookies, trackers and third-party scripts
• Privacy policies and website disclosures
• How compliance checks can be automated and continuously monitored

You do not need to be a lawyer or compliance specialist, but you should understand how these requirements affect websites and how they can be translated into automated technical checks.

Technical Experience

We're particularly interested in candidates with experience across several of the following:

• Playwright / browser automation
• Synthetic monitoring
• SLIs, SLOs and Error Budgets
• User journey identification and monitoring
• Website development
• JavaScript / TypeScript
• APIs and HTTP
• Core Web Vitals
• Prometheus / Grafana / Datadog or similar observability platforms
• OpenTelemetry
• Cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure or GCP)
• GDPR and website privacy compliance
• Cookie and consent compliance

Experience building monitoring, testing, observability or developer-tooling products would be particularly valuable.

Who This Role Would Suit

You might currently be an:

• Senior Site Reliability Engineer
• Observability Engineer
• Platform Engineer
• Senior DevOps Engineer
• Technical Product Manager
• Synthetic Monitoring Engineer
• Senior Web/Platform Engineer

You don't need to come from a traditional Product Management background.

We're looking for someone who understands how websites fail, how users experience those failures, how reliability should be measured, and how those signals can be turned into a useful SaaS product.

Why Join SREMonitor?

This is an early and influential role.

You'll have the opportunity to help shape SREMonitor's product architecture and roadmap rather than simply maintaining an established product.

You'll work directly with the founder on areas including:

Website Monitoring → User Journeys → SLIs/SLOs → Synthetic Monitoring → Performance → Compliance → AI-assisted Reliability

We want to make sophisticated SRE practices accessible to organisations without requiring them to build an entire observability team.
