In this position you will ensure the reliability, scalability, and security of our engineering systems. Working closely with the Engineering Manager and Head of Engineering, the SRE will identify priorities to remove friction from engineering teams, streamline processes, and enhance operational excellence. This role combines software engineering principles with systems administration to deliver robust, automated, cost-effective, and secure-by-design solutions. Key Responsibilities Reliability, Performance & Security: Design and implement strategies to improve system reliability, availability, and security. Ensure all solutions follow secure-by-design principles, incorporating cybersecurity best practices from inception through deployment. Conduct regular security reviews and collaborate with security teams to address vulnerabilities. CI/CD Management: Own and optimise Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment pipelines. Embed security checks (e.g., static analysis, dependency scanning) into CI/CD workflows. Ensure secure, efficient, and automated deployment processes across environments. Monitoring & Observability: Implement and maintain monitoring solutions for infrastructure and applications. Develop dashboards and alerting systems to ensure proactive incident and security event management. Evaluate and integrate new observability tools as needed. Automation & Tooling: Automate repetitive tasks to improve efficiency and reduce human error. Build and maintain internal tools that support engineering productivity and security compliance. Champion Infrastructure as Code (IaC) practices using tools like Terraform or ARM templates. Cloud Infrastructure Management: Manage and optimise services across AWS and Azure environments. Ensure scalability, resilience, and security of service-based architectures. Implement cost management strategies to optimise cloud spend without compromising performance or security. Incident Response & Root Cause Analysis: Lead incident response efforts, including security incidents, and conduct post-mortem reviews. Drive continuous improvement through lessons learned and preventive measures. Skills & Experience Proven experience in AWS and Azure cloud environments. Strong background in CI/CD tools (e.g., Azure DevOps, Pipelines, GitHub Actions, Jenkins). Expertise in monitoring and observability platforms (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog). Proficiency in scripting and automation (Python, Bash, PowerShell). Familiarity with containerisation and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes). Solid understanding of networking, security, and cost optimisation in cloud environments. Knowledge of cybersecurity principles, secure coding practices, and compliance frameworks.
