Site Reliability Engineer

New Yesterday

Overview

Home. There’s no place like it.

And there’s no feeling like helping people create the joy of feeling truly at home. At Dunelm, that’s what we do. We’re the UK's number one choice for homewares because we make home life lovelier for our customers. And we’ve crafted a workplace that feels just as welcoming - where you can bring your ideas, be yourself, and feel right at home.

Remaining first-choice for savvy homeware shoppers also involves making use of advanced technology. We have embraced serverless, event-driven architecture and orchestrated containerised applications, with our monolithic front-end currently being replaced by micro front ends. You’ll be working with a talented and collaborative group of engineers and architects who care about quality and reliability. You can read more about our technology on the Dunelm Engineering blog: .

Site Reliability Engineering

Our SRE team is a high-trust, high-impact group of engineers who bring software engineering principles to operational reliability. We are hands-on developers and systems thinkers who build scalable, observable, and resilient platforms.

We work closely with other Engineering, Data, Platform and Operations teams to help them build reliable, observable, and cost-effective systems. We lead incident response, improve deployment safety, and guide teams toward sustainable service ownership.

We process large volumes of telemetry data every day and are constantly evolving our approach to cost-efficient observability, adaptive sampling, and meaningful tracing. Observability is not a bolt-on - it is a first-class concern that shapes how we build and support systems across the business.

This is a hybrid role, with time split between working from home and our London or Leicester offices. We get together as a team one day a month, but there may be an expectation of other ad-hoc office days where necessary.

Interview Process

  • Step 1: Introductory video call (around 45 minutes) with one of our team to get to know you, explain the role, and hear about your experience and goals
  • Step 2: A 90-minute technical discussion with several members of the SRE team. You will work through scenario-based questions designed to help you highlight your knowledge and approach

    • If you are not a 100% fit (but very close) to having the essential skills and experience, we would encourage you to still apply for this position.

    We want everyone to be as comfortable as possible, so if you need any adjustments within the interview process, please let us know as soon as possible.
