    I am partnered with a global consulting organisation that is expanding its engineering leadership team in Germany. They are seeking an experienced SRE Architect to define and drive the long-term reliability, scalability, and performance strategy across complex, cloud-native systems.

    This is a senior architectural role with wide influence across engineering, combining deep technical expertise with leadership. You will set standards, frameworks, and practices that enable teams to deliver world-class services at scale.

    Key Responsibilities

    • Architect & Strategy – Design highly scalable and fault-tolerant infrastructure on leading cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
    • Reliability Frameworks – Define and govern SLOs, SLIs, and error budgets across engineering teams.
    • Observability – Lead observability design for metrics, tracing, logging, and alerting.
    • Automation & IaC – Champion Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible) for secure, repeatable provisioning.
    • Resilience & Recovery – Develop disaster recovery strategies, resilience patterns, and chaos engineering practices.
    • Leadership & Mentoring – Act as a thought leader, mentoring engineers and embedding reliability best practices across the organisation.
    • Incident Evolution – Analyse major incidents, drive systemic improvements, and evolve incident management culture.

    Key Requirements

    • 10+ years in software engineering, DevOps, or systems engineering, including 5+ years in senior SRE/architecture roles.
    • Expertise in at least one major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, Azure).
    • Strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes and microservices at scale.
    • Proven skills in Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible, Chef, or Puppet).
    • Solid background in observability platforms (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, ELK, Datadog, etc.).
    • Proficiency in Python or Go for automation and tooling.
    • Deep knowledge of distributed systems, networking, and high-availability design patterns.

    Nice-to-Haves

    • Multi-cloud exposure.
    • Professional cloud certifications.
    • Knowledge of service mesh technologies
    • DevSecOps/security best practices.
    • Experience leading large-scale tech transformations.

    If this sounds like something you’d thrive in-or even if you’re just curious-I’d love to chat and tell you more.
