Site Reliability Engineer

We’re seeking fellow Site Reliability Engineers who want to grow their career and delight customers through a hybrid of project and foundational activities. We take a modern approach of working collaboratively internally and externally to achieve high levels of satisfaction both for our clients and ourselves collectively. We achieve this through focused groups of technical people, known as Pods, coming together to deliver and maintain services to UK clients.

The strength of our pods lies within our people, fostered by a supportive team culture. Our ideal candidate would thrive in such an environment.

Hybrid working: The places that you work from day to day will vary according to your role, your needs, and those of the business; it will be a blend of Company offices, client sites, and your home; noting that you will be unable to work at home 100% of the time.

If you are successfully offered this position, you will go through a series of pre-employment checks, including: identity, nationality (single or dual) or immigration status, employment history going back 3 continuous years, and unspent criminal record check (known as Disclosure and Barring Service)

Your role

As an integral part of a Cloud Pod, you’ll have fantastic opportunities to develop both yourself and our collective capabilities as you progress both project and foundational requirements with other likeminded SRE’s and Cloud Engineers. As part of the team, you’ll be empowered to:

• Build and maintain platforms with a high degree of focus on technical reuse, standardisation and blueprints; think “Git Ops” not “Click Ops”.
• Fully embrace modern ways of working and feel invested our customer’s outcomes as we group around activities in agile sprints, and within error budgets.
• Continue to strengthen and bolster your existing capabilities in site reliability through a mix of professional training, certifications, and experiences.
• Collaborate and influence our iterative Capgemini offerings.

You can bring your whole self to work. At Capgemini building an inclusive future is part of everyday life and will be part of your working reality. We have built a representative and welcoming environment, for everyone.

Your skills and experience

• Hands‑on SRE experience with Kubernetes and Open Shift, including troubleshooting key Operators (Service Mesh, ODF, ACS, ACM, AMQ)
• Ability to work within complex multi‑cloud or hybrid environments, with a solid foundation in distributed systems
• Practical knowledge of observability tooling such as Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, and Tempo
• Proficiency in IaC tools (Kustomize, Helm) and scripting languages (Bash, Python), with experience managing Git Ops pipelines using Tekton, ArgoCD, or FluxCD
• Strong growth mindset with willingness to learn from senior engineers;
  Kubernetes certifications (CKA/CKS) and secure‑environment experience are advantageous
