Senior Site Reliability Engineer

Helping engineering teams move faster, safer, and smarter.

This one’s for the engineers who’ve been the last line of defence when things broke — and the first to step in when a platform needed rebuilding the right way.

You’ll be leading the charge on infrastructure and reliability, embedding modern SRE practices into a product-led tech environment. That means fewer fire-fighting sessions, more scalable systems, and a better developer experience across the board.

What you’ll be doing:

* Designing, building, and supporting cloud-native platforms (Azure, Terraform, AKS).

* Championing observability, SLOs, and incident management — not just as checkboxes, but as real, lived practices.

* Leveling up CI/CD pipelines with GitOps, security scanning, and progressive delivery (YAML, Azure DevOps).

* Coaching engineers and building internal tooling that helps teams ship faster without cutting corners.

* Driving cost optimisation and ownership with FinOps practices.

* Taking a lead role in on-call, postmortems, and proactive platform improvement.

What we’re looking for:

* Hands-on Azure experience (AKS, SQL, Cosmos, Functions).

* IAC – Terraform

* Knowledge of DevSecOps, monitoring tools (Datadog, ELK), and scripting (PowerShell/Bash).

* Solid understanding of networks, IAM, security, and Kubernetes operations.

* You know what a good internal platform looks like — and how to build one.

* GitOps tools like ArgoCD or drift detection.

* Autoscaling with KEDA or HPA.

Why this role?

It’s a chance to get stuck into meaningful platform work, not just keep the lights on. You’ll help shape how a growing engineering org thinks about reliability, speed, and safety — and leave your mark on the systems and tooling that power real products.

You’ll also get:

* £70–80k base + strong benefits package

* Remote, with occasional travel to Manchester

* Personal dev budget and health cover from day one

We’re not expecting you to tick every single box. If you’ve done real SRE or platform work and want to shape the future of engineering at scale — we should talk
