Job description

Essentials

• Deep expertise in SRE principles: automation-first operations, observability-driven engineering, error budget management, and resilience engineering.
• Experience shaping SRE operating models, defining service-level objectives, governing automation standards, and leading platform and architecture reviews.
• A track record of strengthening resilience through incident response, performance optimisation, capacity planning, and continuous improvement.
• Experience building SRE capability, including coaching emerging leaders and influencing senior stakeholders across functions.
• Experience designing or scaling observability, automation, self-healing or resilience platforms in a complex environment.
• Credibility with engineering teams you do not manage. A large part of this role is influence rather than authority.
• Client confirmation required: Confirm the observability, incident-management, service-mesh and chaos-engineering stack. Do not list competing platforms as though all are in use.
• You should be comfortable with observability and cloud-native tooling such as OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, Istio, Linkerd, and PagerDuty, and with chaos engineering tools such as Chaos Mesh or Litmus.

What may set you apart

• You have built an SRE practice from a thin base rather than inheriting a mature one.
• You have led incident response somewhere downtime was visible outside the company.
• You combine technical depth with curiosity about the business, its products, and what drives its revenue.
• A degree in computer science, engineering, information systems, or a related field is useful. Equivalent practical experience is valued just as highly.
