Overview
We are seeking an accomplished RMA Specialist to lead the charge in ensuring the delivery of five-nines (99.999%) service availability for critical systems. In this role, you’ll take ownership of Reliability, Maintainability, and Availability outcomes, engineering and operating systems that meet stringent availability targets.

  • Lead incident learning processes and root cause analysis (RCA), ensuring systemic fixes are prioritised over temporary workarounds.
  • Assure changes and maintenance activities align with five-nines availability targets, managing downtime budgets effectively.
  • Defined Service Level Objectives (SLOs), error budgets, and Recovery Time/Point Objectives (RTO/RPOs) with supporting evidence.

Skills and Experience Required:

  • Proven experience in engineering or operating mission-critical, high-availability environments (five-nines or equivalent).
  • Strong systems thinking skills with a comprehensive understanding of service chains and integrations beyond application-level uptime.
  • Hands-on expertise in:
    • High-availability and resilience patterns.
    • Observability and alert signal quality.
    • Incident, problem, and change management under tight downtime constraints.
  • Ability to clearly communicate reliability trade-offs and risks to governance forums and stakeholders.
