About the role
The SRE Team Lead will lead a mature Site Reliability Engineering function within the Platform Operations Team, working closely with Platform Support and Engineering teams. This role demands strong thought leadership, technical depth, and strategic direction for the discipline, with a particular emphasis on leveraging AI-driven operations (AIOps) and FinOps practices to optimise reliability, performance, and cloud spend.
Although this is a hands-on technical role, the SRE Team Lead will also manage a small team of SRE, providing clear direction and ensuring consistent, data-driven, AI-enhanced service delivery across the platforms while working collaboratively with existing support and engineering groups.

Support development teams with troubleshooting, particularly in infrastructure, networking, and multi-tier application design. Serve as a subject matter expert for cloud services—especially AWS PaaS—while applying FinOps practices to ensure cloud cost transparency, optimisation, and efficient resource usage.
Create and maintain robust technical documentation for the infrastructure of the English platforms, including operational runbooks enhanced with predictive and AI-supported insights.
Stay engaged with developments in the SRE, DevOps, AIOps, and FinOps communities, continually introducing new practices and technologies to improve reliability, performance, automation, and cloud cost efficiency
This position has been classified as a hybrid role, requiring the selected candidate to typically spend 40-60% of their time collaborating and connecting face-to-face at their dedicated location. Aside from our hybrid principles, other flexible working requests will be considered from the first day of employment, including other work arrangements should you require adjustments due to a disability or long-term health condition.
About you
A passion for Site reliability engineering and driven to understand, anticipate, and counter platform related issues before they become problems and staying up to date with the latest technological trends and developments
Great communication allowing effective collaboration across technical leadership and various business stakeholders with the ability to present ideas and strategies clearly and persuasively.
Demonstratable soft skills in motivating, inspiring and leading a team (direct line management is not part of the roles remit)
Educated to degree level or equivalent and with a minimum of 5 years proven experience in a systems administration or dev-ops blended role.
Experience implementing technologies such as Terraform, Github Actions & Containerization/Orchestration e.g. Kubernetes & Docker
Expertise in Monitoring tools like New Relic, Grafana, Alert Manager and site24x7.
Have extreme knowledge of cloud computing infrastructure, especially using Amazon Web Services (EKS, ECS, RDS, Route53 etc.)
Excellent troubleshooting, debugging, communication and documentation skills
Experience of working within an Agile product development environment.

Improving productivity in industry through ML based software development
Established companies have legacy systems and software that require years' experience to use it well or a bookshelf of manuals to operate it. When these systems are no longer fit-for-purpose, the usual response is to hire an IT consultancy on a slightly better system, but is there another way?
This growing start-up is tackling these problems by listening and discussing these business pain-points and developing bespoke software through their automated ML based platform. With VC funds already secured, they are growing their engineering team and are looking for their next hires:
Requirements:
* Top Computer Science education – likely a first class degree from Cambridge, Oxford, Imperial or similar and possible a PhD.
* Commercial software engineering experience using modern typed Python, Docker and PostgreSQL. Most probably also used a compiled language like Go or Rust. Additional experience with modern frontend technologies would be desirable.
* Python expertise includes understanding ecosystems and toolchains for large complex codebases.
* Your computer science background allows you to know how to experiment and apply this knowledge to commercial software products.
* Experience with AI / LLM techniques and models for professional projects or through substantial hobby projects.
* Excellent communication skills including knowledge of software architecture.
This is not your run-of-the-mill software company, and so interested candidates need to be naturally curious, engaged and fast to pick up new ideas. Previous experience working in a fast-growing software start-up would be advantageous.
On offer is an excellent remunerations package including enhanced pension, family covered private healthcare and flexible working including substantial hybrid options.
Keywords: LLM, Modern Python, Toolchains, Automation, Software Engineering, Architecting, Start-up, London / Hybrid
