Site Reliability Engineer (Linux & Kubernetes) - up to €96,000

Legacy bare metal on one side, cloud-native on the other - and you're the engineer who speaks both languages.

A global enterprise software leader is modernising its core infrastructure, and they need an SRE who can keep Tier-0 services running flawlessly while the migration happens around them. If you've grown up on production Linux and added Kubernetes to your toolkit, read on.

What's in it for you:

  • Annual Salary up to €96,000 (DOE)
  • 11-month contract with the possibility of extension; PAYE, paid weekly via Principle HR
  • Location: Dublin Central - Hybrid working - on-site Mondays and Tuesdays


What you'll need:

  • 5+ years of production Linux SRE experience
  • 2+ years of Kubernetes SRE experience
  • Public cloud DevOps and CI/CD experience - Azure, AWS or GCP
  • Strong container troubleshooting, plus legacy Linux, storage and networking know-how
  • Development skills in Python or Golang (a must, not a nice-to-have)
  • Monitoring and logging with Prometheus, ELK or similar


A typical day might look like:

  • Running day-to-day DevOps across legacy bare metal and cloud-native workloads in parallel
  • Kubernetes cluster operations, troubleshooting and scaling
  • Supporting migrations - cutover validation, runbooks and incident response
