    Head Resourcing

I'm partnered with a major organisation that's going through a huge SRE modernisation, and they're growing a brand‑new, engineering‑focused SRE function across their cloud platforms. We're now looking for an experienced Senior Site Reliability Engineer to join the team.

This is real SRE work: reducing toil, building automation, improving system reliability and observability, and supporting large‑scale cloud environments across Azure and GCP.

The Role

You'll be part of a unified SRE team supporting multiple cloud teams, working on:

  • Reliability, performance and observability across Azure/GCP
  • Automation to reduce repeat incidents, tickets, and manual processes
  • Improving SLOs, SLIs, error budgets and platform health
  • Building and maintaining Terraform modules, GitHub pipelines and IaC
  • Supporting app teams as they migrate large workloads to cloud
  • 1-in-4 on‑call (enhanced pay)

What They're Looking For

  • 5+ years experience as an SRE in large/complex environments
  • Strong Azure and/or GCP capability
  • Terraform + CI/CD experience (GitHub, IaC, scripting)
  • Deep understanding of observability, data, logs and alerting
  • Someone who wants to help shape a modern SRE culture - not just keep the lights on

Why It's a Great Move

  • Massive modernisation programme
  • Opportunity to influence tooling, processes and culture
  • Multi‑cloud exposure (Azure + GCP)
  • Proper engineering autonomy
  • Clear progression opportunities as the team scales

What they are offering:

  • Hybrid working environment with a requirement to be in the office 2 days per week (Leeds, Halifax, Manchester, Bristol or Edinburgh).
  • Enhanced benefits package which includes flexible cash sum, private medical, enhanced pension contribution, 28 days + bank holidays and more.

If you are interested in finding out more, please send across an updated version of your CV, clearing demonstrating your relevant experience!

If this job isn't the one for you, then don't worry we have lots more opportunities available!
