## About the Role

Ever wondered who makes sure the technology we rely on stays available and performs as it should? That's where Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) comes in. They work behind the scenes to make sure the technology we rely on is fast, stable and prevents disruption. You'll learn how to monitor technology, solve technical problems, automate repetitive processes and help prevent outages

You'll work in a highly automated environment, developing hands-on experience across system reliability, observability, alerting, automation and incident investigation. You'll build your knowledge of Kubernetes/OpenShift, Red Hat and Bash, with opportunities to gain exposure to areas such as Python, software engineering, vulnerability management, CVE assessment and server patching.

We're looking for engineers with strong technical foundations who want to develop a career in Site Reliability Engineering. Previous SRE experience isn't essential. We're looking for aptitude, curiosity and a willingness to learn, with structured training available to support your development.

Requirements

Skills & Experience

Ideally, you'll have experience with some of the following:

 * Bash / scripting
 * Red Hat / Linux
 * Kubernetes or OpenShift fundamentals
 * Python and/or software engineering
 * An interest in automation, reliability and containerised environments
 * Strong problem-solving skills and a willingness to learn

Experience or an interest in vulnerability management, CVE assessment or server patching would also be beneficial.

What you'll develop

This is an excellent opportunity for someone from a software engineering, DevOps, Linux or infrastructure background who wants to move into SRE without being expected to know everything from day one.

You'll have the opportunity to build your knowledge across Site Reliability Engineering, OpenShift, automation, CI/CD, observability and engineering best practices, supported by structured learning and on-the-job development.

You don't need experience in everything above. If you bring strong technical foundations and a willingness to learn, we can provide additional training and support to help you build the skills you're missing.

Bring the foundations and willingness to learn. We'll support you in developing the rest.
