In this role, your focus will be delivering the reliability, performance, and uptime our clients depend on, whilst continuously improving how our systems operate.

Day-to-day, you'll tackle complex infrastructure challenges through a combination of thoughtful engineering and considered automation.

You'll analyse system capacity and performance, identify bottlenecks, and build solutions that scale across our department, not just one team.

You will collaborate closely with the DevOps team, but focusing primarily on reliability engineering, operational excellence, and production readiness across the broader engineering org.

Drive the adoption of SRE principles across the organization while building the systems and processes that make those principles measurable – think SLIs, SLOs and error budgets.

The Engineering department is the backbone of Copper; entrusted with the critical responsibility of building and securing the infrastructure that safeguards billions of dollars in digital assets. We operate at the intersection of traditional institutional finance and decentralized blockchain technology.

Team Purpose:

We believe the best infrastructure comes from curious minds working openly together. Our engineering organisation brings together people with diverse backgrounds and experiences who genuinely enjoy solving hard problems. We foster a blame-free, intellectually honest environment where you're encouraged to take thoughtful risks and think big. You'll have the autonomy to own meaningful projects while gaining the support you need to grow your skills and advance your career.
