Senior Site Reliability Engineer (SRE)

We are seeking a highly skilled and passionate Senior Site Reliability Engineer to join our Engineering Enablement team. This is a critical role within a large, complex, and high-impact initiative focused on deconstructing our monolithic architecture, revitalising our technology stack, and embedding quality and resilience into every stage of our development lifecycle.

You will play a pivotal role in shaping our future-state platform, driving operational excellence, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement.

What You'll Do

As a Senior SRE Engineer in our Engineering Enablement team, you will:

• Architect and Implement Reliability: Design, build, and maintain highly scalable, resilient, and performant systems on Azure, focusing on our Java, Kafka, and Couchbase stack.

• Drive Modernisation: Work hands-on as part of the team spearheading the adoption of Micronaut, standardising application templates, and transitioning to managed cloud services.

• Enhance Operational Excellence: Develop and implement strategies for improving system observability (standardised logging, metrics, tracing), alerting, and on-call practices.

• Automate Everything: Champion automation across the software development lifecycle (SDLC), from CI/CD pipelines to infrastructure provisioning, focusing on accelerating delivery and de-risking deployments.

• Incident Management & Learning: Contribute to our mature, blameless post- i ncident review process, identifying root causes and implementing preventative measures to reduce incident hours.

• Tooling & Standards: Develop, maintain, and drive the adoption of shared, standardised SRE tooling and best practices across engineering teams, including containerisation (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes on Azure), infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform), and configuration management.

• Mentorship & Collaboration: Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior engineers, fostering a culture of SRE principles and operational excellence across the wider engineering organisation.

• Strategic Input: Contribute to the overall technical strategy and roadmap for our SRE and platform initiatives, ensuring alignment with business objectives.

What You'll Bring

• Deep SRE Expertise: Proven experience as a Senior Site Reliability Engineer or a similar role, with a strong understanding of SRE principles (error budgets, SLOs/SLIs, toil reduction).

• Azure Cloud Proficiency: Extensive hands-on experience designing, deploying, and operating highly available and scalable applications on Microsoft Azure.

• Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) Expertise: Mandatory extensive hands-on experience with AKS for container orchestration, including deployment, scaling, monitoring, and troubleshooting.

• Java Ecosystem Mastery: Expert-level proficiency with Java, including experience with modern frameworks (ideally Micronaut, Spring Boot, or similar) and JVM performance tuning.

• Distributed Systems Knowledge: Solid understanding and practical experience with distributed systems, microservices architecture, and associated challenges (e.g., consistency, fault tolerance).

• Messaging & Database Expertise: Hands-on experience with an event streaming platform (ideally Kafka) and NoSQL data storage (ideally Couchbase), including operational best practices.

• Automation First Mindset: Strong scripting skills (e.g., Python, Bash) and experience with Infrastructure as Code tools (e.g., Terraform, ARM templates) and CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Azure DevOps, Jenkins).

• Observability Tools: Experience with monitoring, logging, and alerting tools (e.g., Azure Monitor, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack, Splunk).

• Problem-Solving Acumen: Exceptional analytical and troubleshooting skills, with a methodical approach to diagnosing and resolving complex production issues.

• Communication & Collaboration: Excellent communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex technical concepts to diverse audiences and collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.

• Continuous Improvement: A proactive and innovative mindset, always seeking ways to improve systems, processes, and team efficiency.
