Job description

This role is ideal for an experienced Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) or Production Support Engineer who thrives in large-scale enterprise environments and enjoys improving reliability, observability, automation, and operational excellence.

You will support critical customer-facing mortgage and home lending platforms, ensuring system stability, performance, and operational resilience. The role combines production support, incident management, observability engineering, automation, and emerging AI-enabled operational practices.

You will partner with engineering, platform, infrastructure, and business teams to reduce operational risk, improve service reliability, and drive self-healing capabilities across complex technology ecosystems. What You’ll Do

  • Lead L2/L3 production support activities for mission-critical applications and platforms.
  • Serve as a primary responder and coordinator for incident management, problem management, and change management activities using ITIL best practices.
  • Monitor the health and performance of applications, infrastructure, and services across hybrid cloud and on-premises environments.
  • Build, enhance, and maintain business observability dashboards using Grafana and related monitoring technologies.
  • Analyze logs, metrics, traces, and events using platforms such as Splunk, AppDynamics, BigPanda, and Application Insights.
  • Drive continuous improvement initiatives to reduce incidents, improve service availability, and optimize system performance.
  • Support reliability engineering efforts, including capacity planning, resiliency testing, operational readiness, and service-level objectives (SLOs).
  • Develop and maintain automation solutions using Ansible and related technologies to improve operational efficiency.
  • Support CI/CD pipelines and deployment processes using tools such as Jenkins, Artifactory, UDeploy, and Terraform.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve complex production issues involving Java, .NET, database, middleware, and infrastructure components.
  • Partner with development teams to implement resilient, scalable, and observable system designs.
  • Leverage knowledge of AI/ML, LLM, and Agentic AI technologies to identify operational efficiencies and innovative support solutions.
  • Participate in major incident reviews and contribute to root cause analysis and preventive action planning.
  • Support Oracle, MSSQL, and other enterprise database technologies through analysis and troubleshooting.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of experience in Site Reliability Engineering, Production Support, Systems Engineering, or related technical roles.
