Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) | GCP or AWS & Kubernetes | SaaS HealthTech
This is one of those *awesome* opportunities! Our client is a global SaaS HealthTech with a footprint in every major continent (15,000 employees). They are looking to establish a new Cloud team in the UK to support their platform that their SaaS application will sit on top of that will service their UK customers. You will be working as part of an enterprise business but have the fun culture and feel of building a 'mini start-up' inside a mature business.
After successfully placing several Engineers into the cloud team here, I am now on the lookout for another SRE to join the growing cloud team. If you are passionate about Site Reliability and you are ready for your next challenge, this 'Greenfield' project and the future plans this company have in store will not disappoint.
You'll be working in a highly collaborative team who really knows their stuff when it comes to SRE.
The local headcount currently is 35 in Ireland and 45 in the UK (remote sys admins, tech engineers, field engineers, project managers, programme managers and sales) and expanding the UK office - feels like a start-up with start-up good energy.
Our client is around 50% through their GCP platform build and SRE architecture design and build. The public cloud provider that has been selected is going to be the Google Cloud (GCP) eco-system, having a solid GCP background and experience would be ideal but AWS experience is absolutely fine so long as you're happy to be dedicating your time to on GCP. You will have access to utilise DevOps tools that are already in place in the other geographic regions, but importantly not limited to them. If you want to use a new tool, workflow or methodology this is your blank canvass to implement what you think will be best!
This is an SRE role where you will be initially doing a lift and shift of on-prem architecture into GCP and then after that doing a GCP SRE platform architecture design and build to host the new SaaS Architecture using Kubernetes cluster builds, CI/CD installs and using languages such as Python to 'glue' everything together.
