I'm partnered with a major organisation that's going through a huge SRE modernisation, and they're growing a brand‑new, engineering‑focused SRE function across their cloud platforms. We're now looking for an experienced Senior Site Reliability Engineer to join the team.

This is real SRE work: reducing toil, building automation, improving system reliability and observability, and supporting large‑scale cloud environments across Azure and GCP.

The Role

You'll be part of a unified SRE team supporting multiple cloud teams, working on:

Reliability, performance and observability across Azure/GCP
Automation to reduce repeat incidents, tickets, and manual processes
Improving SLOs, SLIs, error budgets and platform health
Building and maintaining Terraform modules, GitHub pipelines and IaC
Supporting app teams as they migrate large workloads to cloud
1-in-4 on‑call (enhanced pay)

What They're Looking For

5+ years experience as an SRE in large/complex environments
Strong Azure and/or GCP capability
Terraform + CI/CD experience (GitHub, IaC, scripting)
Deep understanding of observability, data, logs and alerting
Someone who wants to help shape a modern SRE culture - not just keep the lights on

Why It's a Great Move

Massive modernisation programme
Opportunity to influence tooling, processes and culture
Multi‑cloud exposure (Azure + GCP)
Proper engineering autonomy
Clear progression opportunities as the team scales

What they are offering:

Hybrid working environment with a requirement to be in the office 2 days per week (Leeds, Halifax, Manchester, Bristol or Edinburgh).
Enhanced benefits package which includes flexible cash sum, private medical, enhanced pension contribution, 28 days + bank holidays and more.

How Many Cloud Computing Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Cloud Job?

If you are aiming for a role in cloud computing, it can feel like the skills list never ends. One job advert asks for AWS, Terraform and Kubernetes. Another mentions Azure DevOps, PowerShell and ARM templates. A third throws in Docker, Python, Linux, CI/CD, monitoring tools and security frameworks. It is no surprise that many cloud job seekers feel overwhelmed before they even apply. Here is the reality most cloud hiring managers agree on: they are not hiring you because you know every cloud tool. They are hiring you because you understand cloud concepts, can design reliable systems, manage costs, keep things secure and support real workloads. Tools matter, but only when they support outcomes. So how many cloud computing tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most roles, the answer is far fewer than you think. This article explains what employers really expect, which tools are essential, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look capable and employable rather than scattered.
