VIQU have partnered with a major UK technology‑led organisation undergoing a significant transformation following a large‑scale business merger. As part of a wider move away from contractor‑heavy delivery, they are investing heavily in permanent engineering talent and building out a high‑performing cloud and platform function.

They are looking for a Site Reliability Engineer to help improve the reliability, scalability and automation of their AWS estate. This is a hands‑on engineering role working across cloud infrastructure, observability, CI/CD and platform tooling, helping development teams deliver faster and more reliably.

You’ll be joining a collaborative engineering environment with the opportunity to influence platform standards, improve operational resilience and support modern Dev Ops and SRE practices across the business.

• Support CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation.
• Improve monitoring, logging and observability across distributed systems.
• Support incident management, root cause analysis and platform reliability improvements.
• Work closely with engineering and architecture teams to improve operational performance and security.
• Contribute to cloud best practice, automation and platform engineering standards.

• Strong experience in a Site Reliability Engineering, Dev Ops or Platform Engineering role.
• Strong AWS experience within production environments.
• Experience with AWS CDK (Type Script preferred).
• Strong Type Script experience.
• Experience with CI/CD tooling such as Jenkins or Git Lab CI.
• Containerisation experience with Docker, Kubernetes, EKS or ECS.
• Experience with observability tooling such as Prometheus, Grafana, App Dynamics or Open Search.
• Experience with scripting or development using Python, Type Script or Java.
• Understanding of cloud security and reliability best practices.
• AWS certifications are desirable but not essential.
