## About the Role

* 5+ years experience in Site Reliability Engineering, Software Engineering, or Platform Engineering
 * 2+ years experience with Kubernetes and containerized workloads
 * 4-year degree in Computer Science or related field, * Experience with chaos engineering or resiliency testing
 * Experience with high-volume, high-availability transactional systems
 * Experience with AI-assisted observability or operational automation
 * Experience making meaningful contributions to internal SRE tooling, frameworks, or platforms

REQUIRED KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, OR ABILITIES

 * Strong programming/scripting skills (Python, Go, Java, or Node.js)
 * Demonstrated experience defining and operating against SLOs/Error Budgets
 * Strong skills in leading incident response and root cause analysis for production systems
 * Solid understanding of distributed systems and microservices architecture
 * Deep knowledge and expertise in at least one major cloud platform (Azure, AWS, or GCP)
 * Expertise with observability platforms and monitoring strategy

## Description

Reliability Engineering

 * Define and manage SLIs, SLOs, and Error Budgets for critical services
 * Drive production readiness reviews and reliability requirements into architecture and design
 * Perform capacity planning, failure mode analysis, and dependency risk assessments
 * Identify systemic reliability risks and drive remediation before they cause customer impact

Observability

 * Design monitoring, alerting, logging, and tracing solutions using modern observability tooling
 * Improve signal-to-noise ratio and reduce alert fatigue
 * Build dashboards and telemetry that reflect true service health, not just infrastructure metrics

Incident Management

 * Lead technical response for high-severity incidents
 * Drive blameless postmortems and root cause analysis focused on systemic fixes
 * Continuously improve detection, response, and recovery processes
 * Participate in an on-call rotation

Automation & Toil Reduction

 * Identify and eliminate manual, repetitive operational work through automation
 * Build self-healing systems, tooling, and scripts to reduce human intervention
 * Improve CI/CD pipelines and deployment safety (canary, rollback, blue-green)
 * Support Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Bicep, or similar)

Performance & Scalability

 * Conduct load testing, performance benchmarking, and bottleneck analysis
 * Partner with engineering to design systems for horizontal scalability and fault tolerance

Collaboration & Culture

 * Partner with engineering teams to implement resiliency patterns (circuit breakers, retries, graceful degradation, rate limiting)
 * Mentor engineers on SRE best practices
 * Promote a culture of engineering-driven reliability over reactive operations
