About the Role

As a Site Reliability Engineer, you'll lead reliability and infrastructure projects that span multiple teams and business domains. Decisions you make on system design, tooling, and process will directly shape how the teams you work with build and operate at scale. To drive success in this role, you will have a strong background in cloud infrastructure and platform engineering, with experience across infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD and release automation, observability, security, and disaster recovery. You should possess robust technical judgement, the ability to independently lead complex projects from design through delivery, and a proactive approach to eliminating operational risk before it becomes a problem. Regular collaboration with software engineering teams, security teams, and other relevant stakeholders will be key in ensuring the reliability and efficiency of our production systems are achieved. Key Responsibilities

Analyze, test, and evolve systems to improve reliability and performance at an architectural/infrastructure level,



leading medium-to-large projects from design through delivery

Apply AWS and GCP expertise to architect and build reliable, highly-available cloud infrastructure across multiple products and projects

Implement observability strategy and standards, developing the tooling and dashboards other teams build on

Champion SLOs and error budgets for services in your area, using them to prioritise reliability work against feature velocity

Act as incident commander for significant production incidents, lead troubleshooting on complex issues, using blameless post-mortems to drive continuous improvement

Reduce operational toil by building automation and self-service tooling, that other engineers can adopt, rather than absorbing repetitive work yourself

Develop and maintain design, troubleshooting, and runbook standards that other engineers can follow

Apply AI-assisted development to infrastructure problems, and guide other engineers on using AI tools effectively within your team's workflows

Contribute to capacity planning and cost optimisation

Mentor other engineers on systems thinking, incident management, and production ownership, raising the bar within your team

Implement security best practices in infrastructure development and maintenance - such as least-privilege access, secrets management, policy-as-code gates in your pipelines

Skills & Experience

What you will bring:

3+ years of experience in SRE, Platform Engineering, DevOps or other related roles

Strong understanding of SRE and platform engineering principles, with experience applying them to lead cross-team projects

Experience using and configuring modern observability tools such as Datadog, Elastic
