Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJake Wise is a seasoned platform and security-focused engineering leader with 12 years’ experience building resilient, large-scale cloud and observability systems across enterprises like Sky, Vodafone and Barclays. He combines hands-on SRE and DevOps craft—Python, Go, Kubernetes, Terraform—with security experience in red teaming, penetration testing and risk management to ship production-grade telemetry capable of supporting tens of millions of concurrent users. As Director of groovycarrot he blends technical delivery with stakeholder-facing product work, having migrated hundreds of bespoke monitoring stacks to a unified Grafana Mimir/Prometheus operator-based platform. Jake’s background in biochemistry and long career of cross-domain tooling (from serverless AWS to bespoke kubectl plugins and ML-assisted testing pipelines) gives him an uncommon systems-thinking perspective and a knack for making complex operational problems auditable and automatable. Currently on a purposeful career break, he’s open to returning to roles that value security-conscious platform engineering and pragmatic automation.
