Job description

Site Reliability Engineer

Location: Manchester or Gloucester (Hybrid)
Salary: £40,000£65,000
Sector: Consulting National Security

Who you'll be working with

You'll be joining a growing National Security consulting team, working with a range of clients to deliver technology solutions across some of the UK's most demanding environments.

The team brings together engineers, developers and technical specialists, with a strong focus on building reliable, secure and resilient services.

What you'll be doing

As a Site Reliability Engineer, you'll combine software engineering and infrastructure skills to improve the reliability, performance and availability of critical services.

You'll be involved in:

  • Supporting and maintaining production services while proactively improving their reliability and performance.
  • Automating repetitive operational tasks and reducing manual intervention wherever possible.
  • Monitoring and troubleshooting systems across the application and infrastructure stack.
  • Improving observability and instrumentation to identify issues and measure system performance.
  • Working alongside development and product teams to build scalable and resilient services.
  • Responding to production incidents and carrying out root-cause analysis and improvements.
  • Contributing to the wider DevOps and SRE community.

The focus is on engineering solutions rather than simply managing support tickets using automation and technology to make systems more reliable and easier to operate.

What we're looking for

We're interested in engineers with experience across areas such as:

  • Site Reliability Engineering, DevOps, Platform Engineering or similar.
  • Linux and/or Windows environments, including Bash or PowerShell.
  • Cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure or OpenStack.
  • Infrastructure automation and configuration management.
  • CI/CD and deployment tooling.
  • Monitoring, observability and troubleshooting of production systems.
  • Docker, containers and/or microservices.
  • Diagnosing issues across different levels of the technology stack.
  • Working within Agile engineering teams.

You don't need to have every technology listed above. We're particularly interested in people who enjoy automation, problem solving and improving the reliability of production systems.

What's in it for you?
  • £40,000£65,000 salary, depending on experience.
  • Hybrid working from Manchester or Gloucester.
  • Work within a specialist National Security consulting environment.
  • Exposure to complex, mission-critical technology projects.
  • Opportunities to develop your SRE, DevOps and platform engineering skills.
  • The chance to work across different projects, clients and technologies.

Security: Due to the nature of the work, roles within this team are subject to relevant security and residency requirements.
