ability to translate complex reliability concepts for non-technical stakeholders Technical Depth * Fluency in at least one systems or scripting language (Python, Go, or Bash) for automation and tooling * Experience with container orchestration (Kubernetes/GKE), service mesh, and traffic management patterns * Familiarity with data engineering patterns: batch and streaming pipelines, data warehouses, and the operational challenges of large-scale data platforms * Understanding of agentic AI architectures and the unique reliability challenges of LLM-based, event-driven, and multi-agent systems * Working knowledge of data governance frameworks, data lineage tooling, and platform-level data quality enforcement Desirable Experience * Experience operating data platforms in retail or e-commerce environments * Familiarity with SRE principles in practice - error budget policies, CRE engagements, production readiness reviews * Exposure to FinOps practices - cloud cost attribution, commitment optimization, and unit economics for data workloads * Experience with Azure-native services (AKS, Azure Data Factory, Event Hubs) and cross-cloud identity management * Prior experience in a Staff or Principal-level SRE role with organization-wide scope ## Description * Define, instrument, and enforce SLOs, SLIs, and error budgets across all platform services, ensuring alignment with business and product commitments * Drive continuous reduction in MTTD and MTTR through improved observability, automated alerting, and runbook-driven incident response * Lead blameless post-mortems and translate findings into durable reliability improvements, ensuring systemic issues are eliminated rather than patched Toil Reduction & Automation * Systematically identify, measure, and eliminate operational toil; track toil percentage per sprint and enforce guardrails to keep it below 50% of engineering capacity * Build and maintain self-serve infrastructure capabilities - enabling product and data engineering teams to provision, scale, and operate their own resources safely and consistently * Automate deployment pipelines, configuration management, and operational workflows using Infrastructure-as-Code principles (Terraform, Helm, GitOps) Platform Engineering & Architecture * Serve as the primary GCP subject matter expert - architecting and optimizing workloads across GKE, Cloud Run, BigQuery, Pub/Sub, GCS, Composer, Dataflow, and Vertex AI * Lead multi-cloud architecture decisions across GCP and Azure, ensuring consistent security posture, cost efficiency, and operational practices across environments * Design and implement self-healing infrastructure patterns, auto-scaling strategies, and capacity planning models to support high-availability data and AI platforms * Champion data security and governance best practices - including encryption at rest and in transit, IAM least-privilege, secrets management, and audit logging AI, Agentic Systems & Modern Observability * Apply SRE principles to agentic AI workloads - defining reliability expectations for LLM-based and multi-agent systems, including latency SLOs, fallback patterns, and model observability * Partner with AI Platform teams to productionize agentic pipelines with robust monitoring, drift detection, and rollback capabilities * Drive adoption of AI-assisted operations tooling to enhance observability, anomaly detection, and predictive incident management Leadership & Culture * Guide and mentor junior and mid-level SREs - conducting code reviews, running reliability reviews, and elevating the team's engineering craft * Collaborate cross-functionally with Data Engineering, Software Engineering, Security, and Product teams to embed reliability as a shared value from design through deployment * Champion a culture of psychological safety, continuous learning, and reliability excellence * Communicate platform health, risk posture, and reliability roadmaps clearly to both technical and executive audiences ## Related Videos - [SRE Methods In an Agency Environment](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/348-sre-methods-in-an-agency-environment) - [Rate-limiting using eBPF and Istio: How to protect your SaaS customers from themselves](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100220-rate-limiting-using-ebpf-and-istio-how-to-protect-your-saas-customers-from-themselves) - [What Developers Get Wrong About Application Quality](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/233-what-developers-get-wrong-about-application-quality) - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [Leading with Reliability: Applying SRE Principles to Build Stronger Engineering Organizations](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100185-leading-with-reliability-applying-sre-principles-to-build-stronger-engineering-organizations) - [Get started with securing your cloud-native Java microservices applications](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/123-get-started-with-securing-your-cloud-native-java-microservices-applications) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Trustworthy AI Starts at Deployment: 5 Checks Before You Ship](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/753-trustworthy-ai-starts-at-deployment-5-checks-before-you-ship) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Software Engineer Salary London](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/252-software-engineer-salary-london)
