Site Reliability Engineer (SRE)

• Leading reliability engineering for high-scale messaging platforms supporting tens of thousands of runtimes and high-volume message throughput
• Driving EOL remediation, patching, and stabilization across MQ queue managers and Kafka clusters

Implementing SRE best practices:

• SLIs / SLOs focused on message delivery, latency, and availability
• Incident management, escalation, and postmortem culture
• Enhancing observability and monitoring for messaging flows, queue depths, lag, and throughput
• Designing proactive fault detection and auto-remediation strategies (e.g., DLQ handling, backlog mitigation, failover recovery)
• Building resilient messaging platforms capable of supporting real-time, event-driven workloads
• Supporting global production messaging environments with on-call rotation and escalation ownership
• Partnering with engineering, application, and security teams tensure reliability, scalability, and secure message transport
• Strong experience in Site Reliability Engineering / Production Engineering

Hands-on expertise with:

• IBM MQ (queue managers, clustering, channels, DLQ management)
• Kafka / Confluent platform (topics, brokers, partitions, consumer groups)
• Large-scale distributed messaging systems and runtime management

Please share qualified candidates for the SRE Lead position with strong hands-on experience in IBM MQ and Kafka/Confluent, large-scale messaging/production engineering, SRE practices, monitoring/observability, incident management, RCA, SLI/SLO, HA/resiliency, and Shell/Python/PowerShell automation. Linux/Windows experience is required, while Kubernetes and Banking/Financial Services experience is preferred., * Observability tools (Dynatrace, Splunk, Prometheus, Grafana) for messaging platforms

• Event and anomaly detection in high-volume systems
• Strong scripting/automation skills:
• Shell, Python, PowerShell
• Experience managing Linux/Unix and Windows production environments

Knowledge of:

• Event-driven architecture and messaging-based integration patterns

Understanding of:

• Messaging platform security (TLS, certificates, channel auth, encryption)
• Vulnerability remediation and risk mitigation in production systems
• Excellent troubleshooting skills in high-pressure, real-time environments (e.g., message backlog, latency spikes, connection failures
• Experience implementing SRE frameworks (SLIs, SLOs, error budgets) specifically for messaging workloads

Familiarity with:

• Kubernetes / containerized messaging platforms
• Experience with:
• Kafka ecosystem components (Schema Registry, Connect, Streams)
• IBM MQ advanced features (Native HA, clustering)

Exposure to:

• AI-driven operations (AIOps), anomaly detection, or automated remediation
• Large-scale messaging modernization or migration programs
• Messaging or middleware certifications (IBM MQ, Kafka, or equivalent)
• Experience in regulated environments (e.g., financial services)
