Your new company and role

A leading public sector organisation is undergoing a major shift from on-premise systems to cloud-based services. As a Site Reliability Engineer (SRE), you'll join a collaborative, agile team focused on enhancing platform resilience, automation, and observability.

To thrive in this role, you'll bring:

Strong Unix/Linux expertise, particularly with RHEL 7/8/9 and Red Hat Satellite.
Automation skills, including Ansible, shell scripting (Bash/Perl), and infrastructure-as-code principles.
Containerisation experience, with Docker and Kubernetes/OpenShift.
CI/CD knowledge, including pipeline configuration and Git-based workflows.
Monitoring and observability tools, such as Prometheus, Grafana, InfluxDB, and Nagios.
Cloud proficiency, especially with AWS services (EC2, S3, VPC, NLB) and automation tools like Terraform or CDK.
Desirable skills include experience with MongoDB, Python, CommVault, Oracle virtualisation (KVM/LVM), and AWS EKS.
