About this role

At Upvest, we are on a mission to make investing as easy as spending money . Upvest empowers businesses to offer a wide range of investment products and the best experience in the field of capital market investment and retirement planning. Upvest’s Investment API is easy to integrate so that fintechs and financial institutions can save resources and fully focus on their core business. We are proud to partner with Europe’s leading Fintechs and financial institutions such as DKB, Revolut, N26 and Raisin.

Founded in 2017 by Martin Kassing, Upvest now brings together over 270 talented professionals from more than 70 nationalities. Upvest is backed by €280M in total funding from world-class investors, including BlackRock, Tencent, Sapphire Ventures, and Bessemer Venture Partners, Earlybird, Notion Capital, and Motive . Our latest €105M funding round in March 2026 - led by Sapphire and Tencent - serves as a massive catalyst for our growth, allowing us to offer premier investment experience.

About the role: Upvest is looking for a Senior Site Reliability Engineer to raise the bar on how we build, run and recover our systems. Our platform sits in the critical path for our clients and their end customers and as we scale reliability and availability become more crucial. In the near term, you’ll focus on three things: eliminating toil, improving incident management and observability. That means establishing the standards through automation and guardrails that make good engineering the default, turning our incident process into a robust and effective practice, and giving every team the telemetry to see what their services are doing in production.

Over time, your scope grows into resilience architecture, chaos engineering and disaster preparedness - making sure our systems degrade gracefully and that we find weaknesses before our clients do. You’ll work closely with product engineering teams, embedding SRE practices into how they design, ship and operate, and mentoring engineers along the way. If you like the idea of setting technical direction for reliability across an organisation, and you measure your success by how rarely anyone has to think about you at 2am, this is the role for you.
