✨ AI‑Generated
An SRE role combining software engineering and infrastructure operations. The position focuses on automation, monitoring improvements, incident response, and building internal tools for reliable large-scale systems.
Highlights
Opportunity to automate infrastructure operations, improve reliability, and build solutions that reduce manual operational work.
Description
Site Reliability / Platform Engineer
We are recruiting for a growing technology infrastructure business that is building a new operational capability to support large-scale, high-performance computing environments.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Site Reliability Engineer or Platform Engineer who enjoys automating things rather than repeatedly fixing them manually.
The role sits at the intersection of infrastructure, operations and software engineering.
You will use Python and modern automation techniques to improve reliability, reduce manual workload and make incident response faster and more effective.
What you'll be doing
You'll build Python-based automation around incident management, operational runbooks and routine infrastructure tasks.
You'll integrate monitoring, infrastructure and ITSM platforms through APIs, helping improve the quality of alerts through better correlation, enrichment, suppression and deduplication.
You'll also develop internal tools, command-line utilities, dashboards and potentially ChatOps capabilities that allow operational teams to resolve issues more quickly.
A major part of the role will be taking existing operational processes and asking:
"Why are we still doing this manually?"
You'll then design a safe, controlled and auditable way of automating it.
What we're looking for
You should have good commercial experience in Site Reliability Engineering, Platform Engineering, DevOps or production infrastructure operations, together with strong hands-on Python automation skills.
You'll Also Need Experience With
Monitoring and observability tools such as Prometheus, Grafana or similarProduction incident management and/or on-call environmentsAutomating operational runbooks and repetitive infrastructure processesAPIs and systems integrationVersion-controlled automation and operational tooling
Experience with any of the following would be particularly useful:
ServiceNow, Halo, Jira Service Management, OpenTelemetry, distributed tracing, Slack/Teams automation, datacentre or colocation environments, GPU infrastructure, DCIM, IPAM, virtualisation platforms or LLM-assisted operational automation.
This is not an AI/ML development position.
We're looking for someone who understands production infrastructure and can use software engineering and automation to make that infrastructure more reliable.
You'll be joining a growing organisation where you'll have considerable autonomy and the opportunity to help shape the SRE and operational automation capability rather than simply inherit an established environment.
