Site Reliability Engineer (SRE)



Are you a Cloud Engineer who enjoys building highly reliable systems and reducing operational overhead through automation?

We’re working with a high-growth, global technology organisation to hire a Cloud Engineer (SRE focus). This is a key role focused on improving platform reliability, scalability, and performance within a modern AWS environment.

The Role:
You’ll sit at the intersection of engineering and operations, embedding Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) principles across a large-scale cloud platform.
Key focus areas include:

• Defining and managing Service Level Objectives (SLOs) and error budgets
• Driving automation to eliminate repetitive operational tasks
• Building self-service infrastructure for development teams
• Enhancing observability, monitoring, and incident response
• Improving system reliability and performance at scale

What You’ll Be Doing

• Design and manage scalable, fault-tolerant AWS infrastructure using IaC (Terraform/CloudFormation)
• Build and optimise CI/CD pipelines for automated deployments
• Implement and enhance observability solutions (e.g. Datadog, Splunk, etc.)
• Monitor performance, availability, and cost efficiency across cloud environments
• Lead incident response and drive continuous improvement in system resilience
• Ensure strong security and compliance practices across AWS environments
• Contribute to capacity planning and performance optimisation

What You’ll Bring

• 5 years’ experience in Cloud/DevOps/SRE roles (AWS-focused)
• Strong AWS experience (EC2, S3, VPC, Lambda, ECS, RDS, IAM)
• Hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, or CDK)
• Strong scripting skills (Python, Bash, or similar)
• Experience with CI/CD tools (Jenkins, GitLab, Bitbucket, etc.)
• Solid understanding of observability and monitoring tools
• Experience with Docker/Kubernetes is beneficial

Nice to have:

• Experience building self-service infrastructure platforms
• Exposure to security tooling (e.g. Snyk, Wiz)
• Interest in emerging technologies (including AI adoption)
