You'll be joining a growing SRE team at the heart of the customer's mission, focused on ensuring performance, availability, and scalability-while driving continuous improvement and innovation.

Software development in web technologies or OOP (e.g., Python, Java, etc.)
Database tech: Oracle SQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB
Proficient with Linux/Windows command line (Bash, PowerShell)
Monitoring: Grafana, Prometheus, ELK, Splunk
Agile working and tooling (e.g., Jira, Confluence)
Diagnosing and resolving complex system issues
ITIL knowledge or exposure to IT service operations
Containerisation: Docker, Kubernetes, OpenShift
Awareness of modern tech trends and tooling

Security Requirements

UKIC DV clearance holder only

Why Apply?

Join a forward-thinking SRE team in an environment where your work directly supports UK national security.
Help shape tooling, practices, and culture from the ground up.
Work alongside brilliant minds on meaningful problems.
Receive ongoing training and professional development.

If you're excited about automation, resilient systems, and the opportunity to work on a high-impact project-this is your chance to make a difference.
