Description
Site Reliability Engineer (Platform / Automation)
Remote, UK
About the Role
A UK-based AI Sovergeign Cloud is looking for SRE and Platform engineers who default to automation.
The successful candidate will help build the operations function from the ground up; turning runbooks, alerts, and manual workflows into safe, auditable automation and internal tooling that improves reliability across AI infrastructure and data-centre platforms.
This is a platform and SRE role with a strong software engineering focus.
It is not an AI model-building position.
The engineer will work closely with operations, platform, and engineering teams to cut manual toil, improve alert quality, and shorten incident response times.
Key Responsibilities
Write Python-based automation for incident triage, runbook execution, and day-to-day operational tasks.Connect observability, ITSM, and infrastructure APIs to enrich alerts and automate workflows.Improve monitoring signal quality through correlation, enrichment, suppression, and deduplication.Build internal tools and self-service capabilities—CLI utilities, ChatOps integrations, and dashboards.Maintain version-controlled runbook-as-code and reusable automation libraries.Turn post-incident learnings into better tooling, automation, and operational standards.Support safe, auditable automation for higher-risk actions with appropriate approval controls.
Essential Experience
Experience in SRE, Platform Engineering, or production infrastructure operations.GPU, data-centre, or colocation infrastructure experience.Hands-on work with observability and monitoring tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, or similar).Exposure to incident management, on-call, and converting manual runbooks into automation.Strong Python skills for automation, APIs, and integrations.
Nice to Have
ITSM integrations (ServiceNow, Halo, Jira Service Management, or similar).ChatOps tooling (Slack or Microsoft Teams bots).OpenTelemetry, logging, or distributed tracing experience.DCIM, IPAM, or hypervisor-control-plane integrations.Experience with LLM-assisted or agent-based operational automation.
Why Join
The organisation is a mission-driven start-up building critical national infrastructure, where operational excellence directly fuels growth.
This role offers high visibility with leadership, real autonomy, and the opportunity to shape how a next-generation company operates at scale.
