Principle Site Reliability Engineer

Fimador are looking for a Principal DevOps / SRE Engineer to help shape, scale, and operate a high-availability AWS and Linux platform. This is a senior IC role where you’ll combine deep technical expertise with technical leadership, mentoring, and a strong focus on operational excellence.

You’ll work closely with architecture, engineering, and platform teams to design reliable infrastructure, strengthen CI/CD delivery, improve observability, and drive automation across the software delivery lifecycle. You’ll also play a key role in raising engineering standards, influencing best practice, and helping teams build and operate services that are secure, scalable, and production-ready.

What you’ll be doing

• Lead the technical direction for cloud infrastructure, SRE practices, automation, and platform reliability as a senior individual contributor.
• Design, build, and maintain scalable AWS and Linux environments with a focus on availability, resilience, security, and performance.
• Develop and improve Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, creating reusable, modular, and policy-compliant infrastructure patterns.
• Build, optimise, and maintain CI/CD pipelines in Jenkins, enabling faster, safer, and more consistent software releases.
• Champion SRE principles including observability, incident response, reliability engineering, service ownership, error budgets, automation, and continuous improvement.
• Drive operational excellence by reducing toil, improving deployment reliability, strengthening monitoring, and helping teams improve MTTR and change success rates.
• Partner with architecture and engineering teams to influence platform design, tooling decisions, and delivery practices.
• Mentor engineers, provide technical guidance, and raise the overall capability of the team without moving away from hands-on delivery.

Your experience will ideally be in:

• High-quality Terraform code that supports repeatable, consistent, multi-environment provisioning.
• Building and enhancing Jenkins pipelines that include automated testing, security checks, environment promotion, and reliable release controls.
• AWS cloud infrastructure and Linux-based production environments.
• Site Reliability Engineering, DevOps, platform engineering, or cloud infrastructure roles.
• Terraform and Infrastructure as Code best practices.
• Jenkins-based CI/CD pipeline design, build, and optimisation.
• Observability, monitoring, alerting, incident management, and production operations.
• Kubernetes, Helm, networking, ingress, RBAC, secrets management, and scalable deployment patterns.
• Automation using Bash, Python, Java, or similar languages.
• Mentoring engineers and influencing technical direction in an IC leadership capacity.

This is a hybrid opportunity with 2 days on site per week.
