Fantastic new opportunity to the market to join our Glasgow-based Fintech client, specialising in managed Cloud provision. The business is entering a growth phase and now recruiting for a seasoned Head of Site Reliability with an infrastructure background, as they continue to grow their tech team from their newly opened, state-of-the-art tech hub in Glasgow.

This is a key hire and the first in this space, as the business begins to build out their new Site Reliability team.
