CONTRACTOR MUST ideally HOLD ACTIVE SC CLEARANCE
MUST BE PAYE THROUGH UMBRELLA
We're seeking fellow Site Reliability Engineers who want to grow their career and delight customers through a hybrid of project and foundational activities. We take a modern approach of working collaboratively internally and externally to achieve high levels of satisfaction both for our clients and ourselves collectively. We achieve this through focused groups of technical people, known as Pods, coming together to deliver and maintain services to UK clients. The strength of our pods lies within our people, fostered by a supportive team culture. Our ideal candidate would thrive in such an environment.
Hybrid working: The places that you work from day to day will vary according to your role, your needs, and those of the business; it will be a blend of Company offices, client sites, and your home; noting that you will be unable to work at home 100% of the time.
Due to the nature of the client to be supported, successful candidates should expect there will be regular on-site engagement and so travel to site will be required.
Your role
As an integral part of a Cloud Pod, you'll have fantastic opportunities to develop both yourself and our collective capabilities as you progress both project and foundational requirements with other likeminded SRE's and Cloud Engineers. As part of the team, you'll be empowered to:
Build and maintain platforms with a high degree of focus on technical reuse, standardisation and blueprints; think GitOps not ClickOps .
Fully embrace modern ways of working and feel invested our customer's outcomes as we group around activities in agile sprints, and within error budgets.
Continue to strengthen and bolster your existing capabilities in site reliability through a mix of professional training, certifications, and experiences.
Collaborate and influence our iterative offerings.
Your skills and experience
Existing knowledge of Site Reliability Engineering operations, with a hands-on experience in OpenShift,
and Kubernetes. Ability to support and troubleshoot OpenShift Operators (ServiceMesh, ODF, ACS, ACM, AMQ). Familiarity with and ability to adapt within a complex multi-cloud/hybrid ecosystem. Foundational understanding of distributed systems. Working knowledge of observability stacks such as Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, and Tempo. Drive to develop and grow with the aid of senior engineers, with a willingness to adopt best practices and new technologies. Ability to develop and maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using tools like Kustomize or Helm, as well as proficiency in Bash and Python. Experience managing pipelines using Tekton, ArgoCD, or FluxCD, following GitOps principles for automation and consistency. Kubernetes certification would be advantageous (CKA, CKS), as would previous experience in secure environments. Strong drive to learn and develop under the guidance of senior engineers, with a willingness to adopt best practices and new technologies.
Your security clearance
To be successfully appointed to this role, it is a requirement to obtain Security Check (SC) clearance.
To obtain SC clearance, the successful applicant must have resided continuously within the United Kingdom for the last 5 years, along with other criteria and requirements.
Throughout the recruitment process, you will be asked questions about your security clearance eligibility such as, but not limited to, country of residence and nationality. Some posts are restricted to sole UK Nationals for security reasons; therefore, you may be asked about your citizenship in the application process.
Please send CV for full details and immediate interviews. We are a preferred supplier to the client.
