Site Reliability Engineers (SRE) – London
Contract-Inside IR35
London, UK - 5 Days onsite
Budget: £360/Day Inside IR35
Minimum Requirements
- Minimum 5+ years of experience is a must.
Job Description
Location
5 days onsite
Skills Required
- SRE experience with Python-based applications (not Java)
- Exposure to cloud technologies
- Trade Lifecycle / Market Risk / Risk platform experience
- Minimum 8+ years of experience.
- Banking/Financial experience is desirable.
SRE Role Description
We need an experienced SRE to focus predominantly on automation, optimization, and process re-engineering using AI for the Market Risk Platform. Success is measured by capacity created (toil eliminated, fewer manual steps, faster recovery, safer/faster changes) not by being the primary BAU support resources. Strong Python and provable agentic AI delivery.
Primary Objectives
- Eliminate Operational toil and recurring manual work through durable automation
- Re-engineer support/change processes to reduce handoffs, approvals friction, and rerun complexity
- Industrialize reliability operations so existing SREs spend less time firefighting and more time engineering
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Key Responsibilities (Automation & Process first)
Automation Engineering (Core)
- Build production grade automation in Python (tools, services, workflows) to remove repetitive work: environment checks, dependency validation, automated reruns/reprocessing, safe restarts, drift detection, remediation actions, and standardized operation tasks.
- Create self-service capabilities for common requests (guard railed, auditable, repeatable).
- Implement “automation with Safety”: idempotency, dry-run modes, approval gates where needed, rollback/undo strategies, and clear audit trails.
Process Re-engineering (Core)
- Map current operation processes (incident/problem/change, release readiness, rerun/recovery, access/entitlements, environment onboarding) and redesign them to remove waste and reduce cycle time.
- Standardize runbooks/playbooks into executable workflows, reduce tribal knowledge via templates, checklists, and automated pre-flight controls.
- Define and track operation KPIs (toil hours removed, alert volume reduction, MTTR improvements, change failure rate reduction, rerun time reduction).
Agentic AI
- Design and implement agentic workflows that take action using tools/runbooks (e.g., diagnostics, evidence gathering, correlation, guided remediation, change-risk checks, automated rerun orchestration).
- Put strong controls in place: scoped permissions, deterministic fallbacks, human-in-the-loop approvals for risky actions, evaluation harnesses, and measurable outcomes.
- Productionize with monitoring, logging, and post incident learnings feeding back into the agent/tooling.

Observability (enablement for automation)
Required Skills & Experience
- Senior SRE experience on distributed systems and batch/intraday workloads in a production environment.
- Strong Python.
- Provable agentic AI experience showing tool integration, guard rails, evaluation approach.
- Measurable impact (toil reduction, MTTR reduction, alert reduction, etc).
- Demonstrated process optimization ability (removing steps/handoffs, standardizing workflows, implementing light weight controls with metrics).
- Strong Linux and troubleshooting fundamentals across application/system/network layers.
- Experience working across mixed estates (On Pre VMs + Cloud, with some Kubernetes exposure for operational monitoring/reruns).
