Job Title:
Site Reliability Engineer
Location:
Remote with 1 day per week in London
Salary:
up to £75,000 base

The Company
We are working with an established technology business that has just secured its first external round of funding after more than 10 years of organic growth. The investment marks a major turning point for the company as they scale their platform, expand their engineering function, and modernise parts of their infrastructure.

They are now looking for a Site Reliability Engineer who enjoys getting stuck in, takes pride in their work, and prefers solving real problems over sitting in endless meetings. The team is approachable, low ego, and collaborative. This is a place for engineers who like autonomy, trust, and the freedom to focus on meaningful work.

If you are someone who naturally helps others, takes ownership without being asked, and quietly raises the bar, you will fit in well here.

What You’ll Be Doing
• Keeping an AWS based platform running reliably and stepping in quickly when things need fixing
• Building monitoring and alerting so issues are caught early, not by customers
• Running blameless post mortems and turning incidents into measurable improvements
• Automating repetitive tasks and refining the deployment pipeline
• Planning for growth through capacity management and performance optimisation
• Managing the relationship with AWS support and handling technical support cases

This is a hands on role where your judgement will be trusted and your input valued.

What They’re Looking For
• Around 3 to 5 years in SRE, DevOps, or production infrastructure roles
• Strong AWS experience across services such as EC2, IAM, EKS, RDS, and networking
• Infrastructure as Code experience, ideally Terraform
• Familiarity with SLOs, error budgets, and structured post mortems
• Confidence responding to incidents and troubleshooting live environments

Tech You’ll Likely Work With
• Linux administration
• Monitoring tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, CheckMK, or similar
• Performance and load testing frameworks
• Python or Go for scripting
• CI/CD pipelines and GitOps practices
• Capacity planning and performance tuning

Most importantly, they value engineers who stay calm under pressure and focus on solutions.

Why This Role Stands Out
• Newly secured funding means real momentum and investment in engineering
• A stable business with a strong track record, now entering an exciting growth phase
• High trust environment with minimal bureaucracy
• Friendly, supportive team that respects deep work
• Plenty of opportunity to influence how things are built moving forward

This role is ideal for a skilled engineer who enjoys autonomy, takes ownership naturally, and wants to work somewhere that appreciates people who simply get on with the job and do it well.
