Azure SRE / DevOps Engineer - Fully remote (UK) - Established SaaS company

I’m working with a well-established SaaS company to recruit a fully remote Azure SRE. Their DevOps automation processes and tooling have been built and managed by their Software Engineers over the last couple of years and they now want to hand this off to a new dedicated team. You will take ownership of the DevOps automation processes and tooling but your role will focus more on the Site Reliability Engineering than building new pipelines.

You will join a Software Engineering team of 20 x Software Engineers + 6x Support Engineers with a culture is based on collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement where everyone has a voice and can make a valuable contribution.

The Role

Working in an Azure Cloud environment, you will optimise their systems for reliability, performance, scalability and security. Improve and extend their existing automations, monitoring and alerting systems, troubleshoot production issues and make their SaaS platforms are reliable as possible for their clients.

Required technical skills:

• Azure Cloud Platforms
• Azure DevOps pipelines - YAML
• BICEP, ARM, Azure CLI
• Azure Container App Services - AKS nice to have the deeper understanding but everything is running in Container Apps.
• C#.NET, SQL Server, COSMOS - intermediate coding skills

You won’t be writing production code but they want someone who has intermediate skills in C#.NET and can dig into the code when things go wrong with their services and build internal tooling and developer platforms. You will be able to bounce ideas off the Software Engineering team and learn anything new as required.

On-Call:

As an SRE you will be required to participate in the on-call rota 1 week in 3. This is for escalations from the Support team and on average is currently only 1 call per week and major outages are very rare as their systems are stable (your role will be to proactively make them more reliable).

Location:

This is a fully remote role (UK based only) with no expectation to be in the office but they do have meet-ups every 2 months if you can get to Cambridge - not essential though.

Personable attributes:

You will need to be self-sufficient and work with minimal supervision but will have a lot of support from the Software Engineering and Support team when required in a very collaborative working environment. You will brings ideas and be proactive in looking for the next thing to optimise.
