Alex Ryder

I’m Alex. Born & bred in the North of England. I’m an advocate for hard work resulting in reward, and consider myself to be a genuine “people person”. When I’m not riding the constant recruitment rollercoaster, I enjoy watching Manchester United, albeit sometimes more than others… I’m also a sucker for a nice culinary experience and spending time with my two young children.

I began my recruitment journey quite late in life in comparison to some of my co-workers, but with the assistance of the highly knowledgeable colleagues around me, and a passion for continuing to learn about my market, I’ve built an extensive network which has allowed me to thrive.

I cover DevOps, Site Reliability & all things Infrastructure here at Source Control, predominantly working with our high-profile clients in the blockchain & trading technology space. Although many of the organisations we work with are based in the USA & UK, like many in the space they often offer fully remote working, so I’ve built relationships across Europe & America and occasionally extending into Asia too.

Although DevOps & SRE are my main areas of expertise, I have a solid understanding of the tech and tools required to cover other positions that we've run hiring campaigns for. Some examples of this include Back End / Front End developers, Trade Support, Cloud Specialists & Architects.

I work with all different levels of seniority and experience, so can assist from entry-level, right up to Staff / Principal & C-Level positions.
