Enterprise Reliability Architect

Embark on a transformative journey as an Enterprise Reliability Architect at Barclays. At Barclays, our vision is clear — to redefine the future of banking through resilient, observable, and highly scalable technology platforms. We are seeking an Enterprise Reliability Architect to join a cross-cutting engineering function focused on advancing enterprise reliability and observability practices across mission-critical applications.

In this role, you will help shape how reliability engineering is implemented across the organization by driving telemetry standards, resilience patterns, non-functional architecture, and proactive performance engineering. You will partner with application, platform, and engineering teams to improve reliability maturity at scale, not as a traditional product support function, but as part of a Center of Excellence for observability and reliability engineering.

This is an opportunity to influence engineering outcomes across multiple domains by defining best practices, closing systemic reliability gaps, and enabling teams to design for resilience, operability, and performance from the outset.

 

To be successful in this role, you will need the following:

• Experience establishing or scaling reliability, observability, or resilience practices across multiple teams or platforms.
• Experience partnering across engineering teams to influence non-functional architecture, operational readiness, and production resilience through technical leadership and consultative engagement.
• Experience driving proactive reliability practices including monitoring strategy, telemetry standardization, service health measurement, and performance optimization across multiple teams or services.
• Strong experience with observability and APM tooling such as OpenTelemetry, Elastic, AppDynamics, or Prometheus.
• Experience implementing resilience patterns such as Retry, Time Limit, Circuit Breaker, Bulkhead, Throttling, and Saga.
• Ability to act as a technical advisor by guiding best practices, influencing design decisions, and helping teams improve reliability maturity at scale.

 

Other highly valued skills include:

• Experience in financial services or other highly regulated, mission-critical environments.
• Knowledge of networking and security fundamentals, including VPC design, IAM, encryption, and secrets management.
• Experience with infrastructure and platform environments such as Red Hat, Windows, and Kubernetes.
• Familiarity with CI/CD and automation tooling used to support reliable software delivery.

 

You may be assessed on the key critical skills relevant for success in role, such as risk and controls, change and transformation, business acumen, strategic thinking and digital and technology, as well as job-specific technical skills.

The successful candidate will be based in Prague.
