Site Reliability Engineer

As an SRE, you will bridge the gap between software engineering and systems operations. You will use your engineering expertise to replace manual tasks with automation, ensuring that traditional operational work (incidents, on-call, etc.) never exceeds 50% of your team's capacity. Core Accountabilities

• Automation First: Replace repetitive manual labor with innovative automated solutions.
• Consultative Engineering: Work alongside product teams to advise on best practices for system design and resilience.
• Observability: Instrument applications to improve monitoring and use data-driven insights to demonstrate daily system improvements.
• Systems Architecture: Leverage your understanding of the relationship between software and infrastructure to build scalable, failure-resilient systems.
• Community Engagement: Actively participate in the wider internal DevOps and SRE communities.

• Development: Software development in Java and web technologies (JavaScript, HTML).
• Data & Infrastructure: Familiarity with database technologies (Elastic, Mongo) and cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or OpenStack).
• Scripting & OS: Proficiency in Linux and Windows command lines (Bash, PowerShell).
• Configuration & Deployment: Hands-on experience with tools like Chef, Puppet, and Docker (container management/micro-services).
• Monitoring: Expertise in monitoring large-scale systems using technologies such as ELK.
• Problem Solving: Strong diagnostic skills across all levels of the tech stack and experience troubleshooting service outages.
