About the Role

We are seeking a hands-on Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) to work closely with Application Development, Infrastructure and Production Support teams to improve the reliability, performance and operational resilience of critical enterprise applications.

This role sits at the intersection of software engineering and production operations, with a strong focus on automation, observability, incident management and continuous improvement.

Working alongside the SRE Lead and Senior SREs, you will help implement reliability engineering practices, enhance monitoring capabilities, automate operational processes and reduce manual support effort across key services.

This is an excellent opportunity for an engineer with a background in SRE, DevOps, software engineering or production support who is looking to further develop their skills in a complex enterprise setting.

Key Responsibilities

- Collaborate with Application Development and Infrastructure teams to implement reliability engineering solutions and technical improvements.
- Develop and maintain automation scripts and tools to reduce operational toil and improve system reliability.
- Implement and enhance monitoring, logging, alerting and observability capabilities across critical applications.
- Work with development teams to integrate common reliability libraries, tooling and instrumentation into application environments.
- Participate in major incident triage, technical troubleshooting and root cause analysis activities.




- Partner with Problem Management to investigate recurring incidents and identify opportunities for preventative improvements.
- Identify reliability risks, performance bottlenecks, monitoring gaps and opportunities to improve operational efficiency.
- Support the development of reliability dashboards, metrics and reporting capabilities.
- Contribute to CI/CD pipelines, deployment automation and operational processes.
- Participate in an on-call rotation alongside Production Support teams to support critical services.
- Mentor and support engineering teams in the adoption of SRE practices, tools and operational standards.

- Required Skills & Experience

- 2–5 years' experience in Site Reliability Engineering, DevOps, Software Engineering, Infrastructure Engineering or Production Support.
- Strong understanding of SRE principles, system reliability, observability and operational excellence.
- Experience with at least one programming or scripting language such as Python, Java or Bash.
- Hands-on experience with monitoring, logging and alerting tools.
- Experience supporting production systems and participating in incident management and root cause analysis.
- Understanding of CI/CD pipelines, deployment automation and release management.




- Knowledge of distributed systems, microservices and API-based architectures.
- Experience with Linux/Unix environments and networking fundamentals.
- Exposure to cloud platforms and hybrid infrastructure environments.
- Strong troubleshooting, analytical and problem-solving capabilities.
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate across development, infrastructure and operations teams.

Desirable Skills

- Experience working with SLAs, SLOs, SLIs and error budgets.
- Exposure to Docker and Kubernetes.
- Experience with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform or Ansible.
- Experience improving observability, monitoring and reliability engineering practices.
- Familiarity with high-availability and mission-critical systems.
- Experience within financial services, banking or other regulated environments.
- Knowledge of security, risk and compliance considerations within enterprise technology environments.

What You'll Bring

You will be a proactive and technically curious engineer who enjoys solving complex production challenges and improving the way systems are operated.

You will have a strong automation mindset, an interest in software development and the ability to work collaboratively with engineering and operations teams to deliver measurable improvements in system reliability and performance.

A degree in Computer Science, Engineering or a related discipline is desirable, although equivalent practical experience will also be considered.
