Company: HEAD RESOURCING

Job Type: Permanent, FullTime

Salary: £70,000 - £85,000 per annum

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.
