Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) Location: London Salary: £100k pa + Bonus + Benefits I am looking for a number of SRE's for a large-scale digital organisation in the middle of a major engineering modernisation journey. This is not a BAU support role, this is a chance to help define what "good" looks like as SRE is brought fully in-house for the first time. You'll work across high-impact platforms (web/mobile, payments, CRM, operations, cloud) and play a key role in shifting the organisation away from ticket-driven support and towards proactive, automated, AWS-first, engineering-led reliability. Responsibilities • Embed SRE principles to improve availability, reliability, performance and incident response • Modernise legacy support by introducing automation, observability, shift-left practices and CI/CD • Work across multiple domains (web/mobile, payments, CRM, cloud infrastructure, airline systems) • Partner with vendors and internal engineering teams; influence technical and financial decisions • Define and drive SLOs/SLIs, service health metrics and standards • Troubleshoot, monitor and improve systems using tooling such as Datadog, Splunk etc. • Contribute to IaC, containerisation and cloud-native adoption (AWS, Terraform, Docker/K8s) • Mentor and support engineers as SRE ways of working are introduced across the organisation Experience / What you bring • 3-5 years in an SRE or closely related reliability/DevSecOps discipline • Strong knowledge of SRE practices: monitoring, observability, incident response, automation • Hands-on with AWS and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Ansible or CloudFormation) • Experience with CI/CD pipelines and container platforms (Docker / Kubernetes) • Comfortable working with vendors, suppliers and internal product/engineering teams • Able to communicate clearly and influence engineering culture, not just build solutions • Exposure to large, complex or vendor-heavy environments is desirable • Hands-on role leadership through influence, not a line-manager post Interested in learning more? Please get in touch with Benjamin Applewhaite to discuss the role in confidence.
