## About the Role

If you're spending more time firefighting than improving reliability, this one should resonate.

I'm supporting a National Security engineering team looking for an SRE who wants to work closer to the platform, improve how services behave in production and take real ownership of resilience rather than simply reacting to incidents.

This is a good fit for someone who enjoys the overlap between Cloud, Platform, DevOps and Software Engineering and wants to keep broadening their technical remit.

What you'll be working with

 * AWS
 * Kubernetes
 * Terraform
 * Linux
 * CI/CD
 * Python / Bash
 * Monitoring and observability
 * Automation
 * Reliability and performance engineering

You'll be working across secure, live National Security environments, helping teams improve deployment, resilience, monitoring and operational performance.
