Senior Site Reliability Engineer

Staff / Principal Site Reliability Engineer

📍 Belfast (Hybrid)

💰 £90,000 – £140,000

ViVA Tech Talent are working with a high-growth, venture-backed technology company building a next-generation cloud platform focused on real-time system behaviour and production intelligence.

Already trusted by major global brands and operating at serious scale, they’re tackling complex problems across distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and real-time data - and are now expanding their Site Reliability Engineering function in Belfast.

⭐ WHY THIS ROLE IS DIFFERENT

This isn’t a traditional “ops” role.

SREs here are embedded directly into product engineering teams, owning reliability from design through to production - not just reacting when things break. You’ll be working on live, complex systems where performance, observability and scalability genuinely matter.

It’s an SRE with a Software Engineering background - you’ll write code, solve deep production issues, and influence architecture from day one.

⭐ WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

• Partnering closely with engineering teams to design and build reliable, scalable systems from the ground up
• Owning observability, monitoring and alerting across critical services
• Defining and driving SLOs / SLIs to improve system performance and reliability
• Working on infrastructure as code and improving cloud architecture
• Leading and contributing to incident response and post-mortems
• Optimising performance, cost, and resilience across cloud environments

You’ll be working across a modern stack including Kubernetes, multi-cloud environments, distributed systems and high-scale data infrastructure

⭐ WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR

• Strong experience in SRE, DevOps or platform engineering roles
• Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP or Azure)
• Solid background in infrastructure as code (Terraform, CDK, etc.)
• Experience building or improving observability and monitoring systems
• Strong problem-solving skills and a mindset for digging into complex production issues
• Comfortable writing code (Python, Go, or similar)

⭐ THE ENVIRONMENT

• Fast-paced, product-led engineering culture
• Constant feature delivery with real production complexity to solve
• Highly collaborative - no silos, no egos, just strong engineers
• Belfast-based team with real influence on the global platform
• Hybrid working in stunning offices

⭐ WHY JOIN

• Work on genuinely hard, meaningful engineering problems
• Be part of a high-calibre, low-ego team
• Have real ownership and impact, not just operational responsibility
• Join at a stage where you can shape systems, not just maintain them

If you’re someone who enjoys getting deep into systems, solving complex problems, and building reliable platforms at scale, this is a rare opportunity to do exactly that.
