Contract: Permanent
Hours: Full time
Are you ready to shape the future of technology platforms at the heart of Cambridge's academic excellence? Join us as our English Technology Platform SRE Team Lead and help drive innovation, reliability, and intelligent automation in a world-class environment.
We are Cambridge University Press & Assessment, a world-leading academic publisher and assessment organisation and a proud part of the University of Cambridge.
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.
Apply core SRE and DevOps principles—culture, automation, testing, measurement, and continuous improvement—to build and optimise pipelines focused on rapid, reliable software delivery. Integrate AIOps capabilities, such as automated anomaly detection and intelligent alerting, to further enhance operational excellence.
Work with Solutions Architecture, Development, and QA teams to automate processes wherever possible, creating and improving stable CI/CD pipelines for both software and infrastructure. Develop tools that enable rapid provisioning of environments and resources across all teams, incorporating AI-assisted automation where beneficial.
Use automation, observability, and monitoring tools to improve site reliability and proactively identify issues. 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.
