Remote Site Reliability Engineer UK

Salary: £45,000 - 58,000 per year

Requirements

• We are looking for 5+ years of experience in SRE, DevOps, or Production Engineering roles, ideally within a SaaS or cloud-native environment.
• We need deep experience with cloud platforms, preferably Azure or AWS, and Infrastructure-as-Code tools such as Terraform.
• Hands-on experience with Azure DevOps is strongly preferred, as our CI/CD and project workflows are built around it.
• We require proficiency with observability tools such as New Relic, Datadog, Prometheus, or similar.
• We need a strong understanding of software deployment strategies, CI/CD pipelines, and release engineering.
• You must be able to code in at least one modern scripting or systems language such as Python, PowerShell, Go, or Bash.
• Experience operating multi-tenant environments with an emphasis on security, performance, and cost optimization is important.
• You should be an excellent communicator who thrives in cross-functional settings and can influence engineering culture around reliability.
• Desirable: experience in regulated industries such as financial services or healthcare.
• Desirable: background with service mesh architectures, distributed tracing, and gRPC/GraphQL.
• Desirable: familiarity with incident management platforms such as PagerDuty or OpsGenie.
• Desirable: contributions to open-source SRE tooling or frameworks.

Responsibilities

• We will collaborate with architects and engineers to build resilient, fault-tolerant systems across our evolving cloud-native stack.
• We will lead full-stack observability efforts, leveraging modern APM tooling, meaningful SLOs/SLIs, and actionable alerts.
• We will develop and implement auto-scaling strategies, load testing plans, and capacity forecasting for multi-tenant environments.
• We will help implement and automate deployment strategies such as canary releases, feature flags, and blue/green rollouts.
• We will create and refine on-call processes, incident response playbooks, and blameless post-mortem routines.
• We will own and evolve our monitoring infrastructure, integrating metrics, logs, and traces into a cohesive ecosystem.
• We will build reusable templates, dashboards, and platform tooling to empower development teams to shift left on reliability.
• We will work closely with Infrastructure, Architecture, Support, and Engineering teams to drive shared accountability for uptime and performance.
