Site Reliability Engineer

We are seeking an experienced Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) to join our Group Technology Team in Milton Keynes.

ConnellsX is Connells Group Technology’s internal developer platform, built on Microsoft Azure. It simplifies cloud hosting, embeds security and compliance by default, and enables a frictionless developer experience. As part of the team building and operating this platform, you will play a hands-on role in ensuring it is reliable, scalable, and observable.

You will help establish and mature SRE practices, focusing on:

Monitoring and observability

Incident response

Post-incident review

Reliability testing and capacity planning

Toil reduction

Enabling development velocity

We offer a hybrid working arrangement with one day per week in our Milton Keynes office.

Working knowledge of .NET/C# and React/NextJS

Experience with cloud cost optimisation

Knowledge of Azure networking (DNS, VNets, Firewalls)

Understanding of security frameworks (e.g. ISO 27002, NIST CSF)

Azure certifications

You may come from SRE, DevOps, platform engineering, or operations backgrounds. What matters is hands-on experience running production systems, managing incidents, creating runbooks and automating repetitive work. The focus is on identifying root causes and systemic issues, reducing manual toil through automation, and maintaining reliability by applying SRE principles and using data‑driven metrics (SLIs/SLOs).

You understand reliability is about balance, not perfection, and can make data-driven trade-offs between stability and delivery. You are curious, collaborative, and take shared responsibility for system reliability.
