Site Reliability Engineer (Contract - Outside IR35)
Location: Onsite 5 days a week in Leeds, West Yorkshire
Contract Type: 6 months (initial) - Outside IR35

We re looking for an experienced Site Reliability Engineer to join on a fast-paced contract, driving down technical debt and delivering urgent, high-impact fixes across a mixed environment of Linux, Windows, and Apache-based systems.
This isn't a greenfield build. Its a high-urgency, hands-on role where you'll patch vulnerabilities, remediate Legacy issues, and stabilise infrastructure and applications, owning the end-to-end delivery of fixes with minimal oversight.

What you'll Be Doing

• Patching & hardening: Triage vulnerabilities across Servers, apps, and services, applying fixes safely and quickly.
• Technical debt remediation: Refactor brittle components, clean up Legacy systems, and stabilise critical services.
• Full life cycle fixes: Take issues from diagnosis through to implementation, testing, and release.
• Operate at pace: Balance urgency with safety to deliver resilient solutions in production environments.

What Were Looking For
5+ years engineering experience - Back End, DevOps, SRE, or similar.
Proven record in security patching, hotfixes, and incident remediation.
Strong Scripting & coding (Python, Bash, PowerShell; plus exposure to Java/C# or similar Back End languages).
CI/CD fluency - experience building and maintaining pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps).
Infrastructure expertise - Linux (Servers/hosting), Windows (enterprise/user-facing apps), Apache/web services.
Automation-first mindset - comfortable with IaC (Terraform, Ansible), containerisation (Docker, Kubernetes), and monitoring tools.
Able to work independently, prioritise rapidly, and ship safely under pressure.

If you re an experienced Site Reliability Engineer with a track record in patching, remediation, and technical debt reduction, we'd love to hear from you.
