What the job involves
- The Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) team combines software and systems engineering to build and run distributed, fault-tolerant systems at scale
- SREs ensure that Fetch’s services — both our externally visible and internally critical systems — have reliability and uptime appropriate to our users’ needs
- In addition, we keep an ever watchful eye on system capacity and performance
- We’re proud to be our engineers’ engineers, and much of our software development focuses on optimizing existing systems, building infrastructure, and eliminating work through automation
- Fetch’s culture of diversity, intellectual curiosity, problem solving, and openness is key to our success
- Our organization brings together people with a wide variety of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives
- We encourage them to collaborate, think big, and take risks in a blame-free environment
- We promote self-direction to work on meaningful projects, while we also strive to create an environment that provides the support and mentorship needed to learn and grow
- Engage in and improve the whole lifecycle of services - from inception and design, through deployment, operation, and refinement
- Support services before they go live through activities such as system design consulting, developing software platforms and frameworks, capacity planning, and readiness reviews
- Maintain services once they are live by measuring and monitoring availability, latency, and overall system health
- Scale systems sustainably through mechanisms like automation, and evolve systems by pushing for changes that improve reliability and velocity
- Practice sustainable incident response and blameless postmortems by participating in the on-call rotation
- Build and support AWS multi-account and multi-region infrastructure using a mix of managed services (e.g. S3, Lambda, RDS, etc.) and containerized infrastructure (e.g. EKS, ECS)
- Grow the SRE team by mentoring engineers and participating in the hiring process
Our take
Leading mobile shopping and loyalty platform Fetch has seen explosive success in recent years. Its concept is simple: users receive spendable points in exchange for scans of their shopping receipts.
The app has tens of millions of daily active users with even more downloads, and has seen impressive growth, having now reached 'unicorn' status twice over. This should come as no surprise. Brand reinforcement is crucial to customer retention and acquisition - but it is harder than ever, with the fragmentation of choice on the market and the declining efficacy of marketing. So material loyalty benefits are likely to prove a crucial tool in creating and leveraging a strong customer base.
Whilst Fetch faces competition from similar receipt-scan rewards platforms like ReceiptPal and Ibotta, it grew into a profitable company in late 2023. It is using its most recent Morgan Stanley-backed funding to aggressively add brand partners at a competitive pace and onboarding staff at a level that promises strong continued growth.
