Senior🎓
Top SchoolRobert Hargreaves is an engineering leader and hands-on SRE with 11 years’ experience delivering cloud migrations, reliability engineering and cost optimisation across media and supply-chain platforms. Currently Engineering Manager for Site Reliability Engineering at Rightmove, he has previously led company-wide engineering at 7digital and integrated teams post-acquisition at Songtradr, driving measurable reductions in MTTR and lead time. He has executed large-scale migrations (multi-petabyte media moves and a 12 TB master catalogue) that improved availability and slashed recovery and ingestion windows from days to minutes. Equally comfortable in strategy and the command line, he couples people-first leadership with pragmatic automation—introducing SLO-driven alerting, synthetic testing and on-call remuneration automation. Notable outcomes include cutting cloud and licensing costs through replatforming and vendor consolidation while increasing service availability by double-digit percentages. Based in London with a BSc in Computer Science from Southampton, he blends deep operational craft with proven experience integrating engineering teams and systems at scale.
