The Role
* As an SRE, you will take ownership of the stability, resilience, and performance of the organisation's cloud infrastructure.
* You’ll bring an engineering mindset to operational challenges, building better observability, driving automation, and making systems more reliable at scale.
* Working across a modern Azure estate with global reach, you’ll be someone who spots problems before customers do and fixes them in ways that mean they don't come back.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Keeping production and staging environments healthy, available, and performing, with a proactive rather than reactive approach
* Building and improving the team’s observability capability, including dashboards, alerting, and log analysis across tools such as Azure Monitor, ELK Stack, and Zabbix
* Leading on incident response during your on-call rotation, and driving blameless post-incident reviews to reduce repeat occurrences
* Identifying and eliminating toil through automation, using PowerShell, Azure-native tooling, and infrastructure-as-code practices
* Supporting and maintaining Kubernetes workloads alongside broader cloud infrastructure across Windows Server and Linux environments
* Ensuring systems are continuously patched, hardened, and compliant with relevant security frameworks including ISO 27001 and NIST
* Collaborating with development and operations teams to support reliable, safe deployments and improve delivery pipelines
* Monitoring capacity and performance trends to stay ahead of demand and continually raise the bar on service quality
What We’re Looking For
* Several years of experience in an SRE, DevOps, or infrastructure engineering role, ideally within a regulated or high-availability environment
* Solid, hands‑on knowledge of Microsoft Azure
* A background in systems administration or IT operations that you’ve built upon with an engineering‑first approach
* Strong PowerShell scripting skills and a genuine enthusiasm for automation
* Experience with observability and monitoring tooling, you know how to make a system legible
* Familiarity with Kubernetes at an operational level
* Competence with SQL and relational databases, particularly Microsoft SQL Server
* Awareness of security and compliance frameworks such as ISO 27001 or NIST
* Comfortable working in an Agile environment
* Knowledge of ITIL principles is beneficial, support for certification is available
