The role:

A global financial markets client is looking for an SRE to join its Production Services team. You'll support mission-critical trading, clearing, and market data platforms - environments where reliability genuinely isn't optional.

Responsibilities:

• Managing OpenShift and Kubernetes clusters across physical, virtual, and containerised environments
• Operating observability stacks (Grafana, Prometheus, Splunk) and driving proactive monitoring
• Automating operational tasks using Python, Bash, or PowerShell
• Supporting CI/CD pipelines (Bamboo, Bitbucket) and IaC delivery via Ansible Tower
• Responding to production incidents and contributing to problem and change management
• Participating in DR exercises and on-call rotation

Key Requirements:

• Hands-on Kubernetes and/or OpenShift experience in production
• Scripting skills in Python, Bash, or PowerShell
• Familiarity with observability tooling and SRE principles
• SQL and database knowledge (MySQL, Oracle, or similar)
• Experience supporting .NET, Java, or microservices applications

It would be great if you had:

• ITIL v3/v4 certification or ServiceNow experience
• Knowledge of Swift payment flows or financial clearing processes

£55,000–£70,000 base depending on experience, plus bonus & benefits. Hybrid working — 3 days per week in the City of London office.
