Head of SRE (DevOps-Led Cloud Transformation)
Method Resourcing have partnered with a rapidly scaling, PE-backed international technology business operating in highly critical, high-availability sectors.
Following significant growth and multiple acquisitions, the business is entering a major modernisation phase — including the migration of four data centres into Microsoft Azure and the evolution of its DevOps and reliability operating model.
This is a newly created Head of SRE role with a strong DevOps focus.
The Opportunity
Reporting to the Engineering Director, you will lead a team of 6 (3 DevOps, 3 QA) and take ownership of platform reliability, cloud infrastructure strategy, and automation maturity across the organisation.
Key areas of focus include:
* Leading large-scale migration from on-premise data centres to Azure
* Elevating Infrastructure-as-Code standards and governance
* Strengthening CI/CD pipelines and reducing manual deployment overhead
* Ensuring platforms are scalable, resilient, and ready for mass usage
* Embedding observability and proactive reliability practices
* Integrating QA effectively into the DevOps lifecycle
This is a hands-on leadership role requiring both strategic direction and technical depth.
What We’re Looking For
* Experience leading DevOps, SRE, or platform engineering functions
* Proven track record in infrastructure modernisation and automation
* Deep understanding of Infrastructure as Code (e.g. Terraform, Bicep, ARM)
* Experience supporting high-availability production systems
* Ability to manage and develop engineering teams
* Appreciation of modern QA automation and non-functional testing practices
You do not need to be a career QA specialist — but you should understand how quality, automation, and reliability intersect within modern engineering environments.
Why Consider This Role?
* Newly created leadership position with real ownership
* Major cloud transformation programme underway
* Opportunity to define reliability and DevOps standards at group level
* PE-backed business with international footprint and strong growth trajectory
* Direct influence at Engineering Leadership level
