Are you ready to lead a high-performing team and play a pivotal role in shaping the future of infrastructure and reliability engineering?
We're looking for an experienced Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) Team Lead / Technical Lead who is passionate about driving operational excellence and has a clear vision for building scalable, resilient systems. In this role, you'll lead from the front; mentoring a team of DevOps Engineers, implementing best-in-class practices, and owning the evolution of cloud infrastructure at a key growth stage in the company's journey.
This is more than a leadership position. It's an opportunity to have a real and lasting impact. Your work will directly influence the reliability and performance of mission-critical platforms and enable the business to scale confidently and securely.
What You'll Be Doing:
* Lead, inspire, and develop a growing team of DevOps Engineers, setting clear goals and driving team performance.
* Define and deliver the company's SRE strategy, aligning it with wider technical and business goals.
* Collaborate across engineering, product, and security teams to ensure operational excellence and seamless delivery.
* Architect, implement, and manage secure, scalable AWS infrastructure with a focus on automation and performance.
* Champion the use of Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD, containerisation, and cloud-native design patterns.
* Implement monitoring, alerting, and incident response practices that promote continuous improvement and service resilience.
* Act as a trusted voice in technical forums and senior leadership discussions, bringing clarity to complex challenges.
What You Bring:
* Proven experience leading and mentoring high-performing technical teams.
* Deep hands-on expertise with AWS (EC2, ECS, RDS, S3, Fargate, IAM, VPC, etc.).
* Strong skills in automation and configuration management-especially Ansible (Terraform experience a plus).
* Solid grasp of SRE and DevOps principles including CI/CD, GitOps, observability, and infrastructure as code.
* A strategic mindset with excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills.
Bonus Skills (Desirable but not essential):
* Exposure to Microsoft Azure.
* Kubernetes and container orchestration.
* Knowledge of cloud security best practices and regulatory compliance (e.g., ISO 27001, SOC 2).
What You'll Get:
* Salary up to £110,000 plus bonus and a comprehensive benefits package.
* Hybrid working model (1 day per week onsite in Crawley).
* 25 days holiday (rising with service) + your birthday off.
* EV salary sacrifice car scheme.
* Access to training, development, and career progression in a supportive environment.
