Ready to take your technical skills into Site Reliability Engineering?We’re looking for an engineer with strong technical foundations who is keen to develop their career in SRE. You don’t need to be an experienced Site Reliability Engineer already. We’re looking for the right attitude, aptitude and willingness to learn, with structured training available to help you develop into the role.

As a Site Reliability Engineer, you’ll work within a structured and highly automated technical environment, helping to keep systems reliable, stable and running effectively. You’ll gain exposure to observability and alerting, using documented processes and engineering knowledge to investigate issues and support the reliability of the wider environment.

You’ll develop your knowledge of containerised environments, automation and SRE practices, while gaining hands-on experience with technologies such as Kubernetes/OpenShift, Red Hat and Bash. Depending on your experience, there may also be opportunities to work with Python/software engineering, vulnerability management, CVE assessment and server patching.

Skills & ExperienceIdeally, you'll have experience with some of the following:

• Bash / scripting
• Red Hat / Linux
• Kubernetes or OpenShift fundamentals
• Python and/or software engineering
• An interest in automation, reliability and containerised environments
• Strong problem-solving skills and a willingness to learn

 Experience or an interest in vulnerability management, CVE assessment or server patching would also be beneficial.

 

What you'll developThis is an excellent opportunity for someone from a software engineering, DevOps, Linux or infrastructure background who wants to move into SRE without being expected to know everything from day one.

You’ll have the opportunity to build your knowledge across Site Reliability Engineering, OpenShift, automation, CI/CD, observability and engineering best practices, supported by structured learning and on-the-job development.

You don’t need experience in everything above. If you bring strong technical foundations and a willingness to learn, we can provide additional training and support to help you build the skills you’re missing.

Bring the foundations and willingness to learn. We’ll support you in developing the rest.
