Site Reliability Engineer (Azure)

The Site Reliability Engineer is a hybrid engineering role responsible for all aspects of application production support, deployment and monitoring as well as the development of tools to support these activities. The Site Reliability Engineer has the goal of supporting mission critical applications ensuring the highest levels of availability, performance and stability are maintained but crucially, should be designing and building tools and solutions that help to automate as many aspects of support as possible such that manual mundane support activity is reduced or eliminated allowing systems to scale readily without similar linear increases in support overhead. The SRE role requires exceptional development and engineering experience and the ability to apply that knowledge to solve the complex problem of running applications reliably at scale.

The Site Reliability Engineer should spend a considerable portion of his or her time developing new tools to solve existing problems in the production environment - where possible these tools should be designed with reuse across the wider organization in mind.

The Site Reliability Engineer also defends our business and reputation by ensuring the integrity and security of our production platforms at all times
