Senior Platform Engineer / Site Reliability Engineer (SRE)

We're partnering with a leading global, technology-driven firm to hire a Senior Platform Engineer / SRE to join its Global Compute Engineering team. This is a hands-on opportunity for an experienced infrastructure engineer who enjoys building scalable, resilient, and highly automated platforms supporting complex, data-intensive environments across Linux, Python, Cloud, Ansible, and Terraform.

In this role, you'll design, build, and optimise the compute platforms that power high-performance workloads across a global infrastructure footprint. Working closely with software engineering teams, you'll drive infrastructure-as-code initiatives, automation frameworks, observability, and internal platform tooling to improve reliability, scalability, and developer productivity.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and evolve scalable, high-performance compute platforms
• Build automation for provisioning, configuration, and infrastructure lifecycle management
• Develop internal tools, APIs, and platform abstractions that simplify infrastructure operations
• Enhance observability across metrics, logs, and distributed tracing
• Partner with engineering teams to improve scalability, reliability, and security
• Support incident response and continuous platform improvement initiatives
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to engineering best practices

What We're Looking For

• Strong Linux administration experience (RHEL, CentOS, Ubuntu)
• Solid Python development skills
• Hands-on expertise with Ansible and Terraform
• Experience with AWS and/or GCP cloud environments
• Strong Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) mindset with a focus on automation and operational excellence
• Good understanding of observability tooling such as Prometheus
• Experience with Git-based development and deployment workflows

Why Join?

This is an opportunity to work within a high-calibre engineering environment where infrastructure is treated as a core engineering discipline. You'll tackle meaningful platform challenges at scale, influence architecture decisions, and build systems that empower engineering teams globally while driving reliability, performance, and automation across the organisation.
