## About the Role

* Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience
 * 8+ years of experience in Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), network operations, or data center infrastructure management across highly distributed, large-scale environments
 * Strong proficiency in Python, Go, or Shell scripting, combined with configuration management frameworks like Salt or Ansible
 * Observability Expertise: Deep production experience with Prometheus, Grafana, Alert Manager, and Splunk for enterprise metrics and logging
 * Strong SQL skills (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and a proven track record of consuming and building RESTful APIs to integrate infrastructure tooling
 * Advanced Linux system fundamentals paired with hands-on experience provisioning, troubleshooting, and managing bare-metal enterprise server architectures
 * Deep understanding of TCP/UDP, IPv4/IPv6, BGP, EVPN, VxLAN, Segment Routing, and load balancing
 * Experience managing enterprise hardware vendors like Arista Networks, Juniper Networks, Cisco, Palo Alto Networks firewalls, and F5 load balancers
 * Practical knowledge of out-of-band management (IPMI), PDU architecture, and data center physical cooling systems (liquid cooling, HVAC, hot/cold aisle containment)

## Description

You will minimize manual toil through advanced automation, drive operational excellence through blameless postmortems, and proactively mitigate infrastructure risks. As a senior engineer, you will lead high-impact projects, mentor peers by example, and foster continuous improvement across the global SRE organization.
What You'll Do

 * Enhance Telemetry Platforms: Scale observability, logging, and alerting systems using Grafana, Splunk, and Prometheus
 * Build Correlated Dashboards: Design visualization tools that connect server health, network telemetry, and facility power/cooling performance across fragmented data sources
 * Drive Data Insights: Write complex SQL and SPL queries to analyze infrastructure trends, isolate production bottlenecks, and surface environmental health insights via IPMI interfaces
 * Eliminate Manual Toil: Develop robust automation scripts and tooling to handle hardware incident triage, alert noise reduction, and log correlation
 * Manage Source of Truth: Maintain and scale Netbox inventory systems, building automated API pipelines to track physical layout, device lifecycles, and cable topologies
 * Standardize Operational Playbooks: Create and maintain high-quality runbooks, KB articles, and SOPs to enable bot-assisted incident resolution
 * Lead Incident Response: Participate in high-severity infrastructure on-call rotations, directing rapid triage, mitigation, and root cause analysis (RCA) for server, network, and facility anomalies
 * Cross-Functional Partnership: Collaborate with architecture, deployment, hardware engineering, and facility operations teams to ensure new implementations are supportable and monitored from day one
 * Optimize Performance: Continuous monitoring of network and infrastructure performance to execute sustainability and optimization changes
