  • Proactively assess production systems for operational risk, performance bottlenecks, resiliency gaps, and recurring failure patterns; recommend and implement preventative improvements.
  • Define, track, and improve service reliability indicators, objectives, and error budgets in partnership with engineering, product, and operations teams to balance reliability, customer impact, and delivery priorities.
  • Partner with engineering, product support, cloud operations, and infrastructure teams to strengthen incident response readiness, improve communication, and drive timely resolution of production issues.
  • Lead root cause analysis and cross-functional incident retrospectives, translating findings into preventative actions that reduce recurring incidents and improve system resiliency.
  • Develop automation, operational tooling, deployment support, and infrastructure provisioning practices to reduce manual effort, improve consistency, and minimize operational toil.
  • Conduct regular performance tuning, capacity analysis, reliability reviews, and system health assessments to support SLA commitments and customer expectations.
  • Drive continuous improvement initiatives that improve reliability engineering practices, operational maturity, and productivity across teams.
  • Participate in a structured on-call rotation during primary business hours and contribute to incident management best practices.
  • Stay current with industry trends, best practices, and emerging technologies in site reliability engineering, DevOps, cloud operations, automation, and observability.

Qualifications

  • BS/BA degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 3+ years of experience in Site Reliability Engineering, Cloud Operations, DevOps, Software Engineering, or a related technical role supporting cloud-based production systems.
  • 5+ years of hands-on software engineering experience, including application design, code review, testing, debugging, release processes, and supporting production software systems.
  • Proficiency with cloud computing platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP, including experience with infrastructure as code tools such as Terraform.
  • Hands-on experience with monitoring, logging, alerting, and observability tools such as Datadog, AWS CloudWatch, SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer, or similar platforms.
  • Experience participating in or improving incident response processes, including use of tools such as PagerDuty, JSM Operations, or similar incident management platforms.
  • Experience conducting root cause analysis, identifying systemic risks, and implementing preventative measures to reduce production incidents.
  • Familiarity with SRE practices such as service level indicators, service level objectives, error budgets, toil reduction, blameless post-incident reviews, and reliability-focused engineering.
  • Expertise in scripting or programming languages such as PowerShell, Python, Bash, C#, Go, or .NET for automation and tooling.
  • Strong understanding of database concepts and administration, including T-SQL scripting, indexing, query performance, and performance tuning for MS SQL Server and/or PostgreSQL.
  • Solid understanding of networking concepts, security best practices, and system administration in Windows and Linux environments.
