Site Reliability Engineer; Kubernetes​/Multi-Cloud

We are looking for a Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) to join an established and growing SRE team supporting Kubernetes-based platforms running across Azure and AWS

This role focuses on maintaining reliable, scalable, and observable systems, working closely with engineering teams to ensure services run smoothly in production.

You will contribute to the operation of managed Kubernetes platforms (AKS/EKS), supporting best practices in monitoring, automation, and incident response, while continuing to develop your expertise in cloud-native technologies.

Synalogik develops technology that enables organisations to work effectively with complex and disparate data sources. Through automated workflows, our platform collects, processes, and analyses data from a wide range of trusted datasets, allowing users to handle large volumes of information quickly and reliably.

Our flagship product, Scout®, helps people make better decisions by bringing together useful information from different sources, supported by systems that are built to be reliable and able to scale.

Scout® has become the compliance and investigation platform to a third of the UK gambling market, UK Government Agencies, Insurance, legal and banking companies.

Despite our long client list, this is just the beginning for Synalogik. There are a raft of new innovations in the works, and the chance to be part of a rapidly expanding team, work with our data science and industry experts, ensure that your ideas get supported, and then get the satisfaction of seeing them in products used in Tier 1 businesses.
