Role Title: Site Reliability Engineer (SRE)

Role Summary:

The Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) is a hands-on engineer responsible for improving the reliability, availability, performance, and operational efficiency of the assigned technology tower. The role blends deep tower-specific technical expertise with strong automation capability (Python and Ansible) and modern SRE practices. The SRE identifies high-value automation opportunities, eliminates repetitive manual effort (toil), and drives use cases through feasibility, build, test, deployment, and hyper-care, while partnering with operations and engineering teams to meet service-level objectives.

Key Responsibilities:

Identify, groom, and prioritize automation and SRE use cases with stakeholders across the tower.

Build and manage automation pipelines and reusable Ansible Playbooks / Python modules to reduce toil and improve operational efficiency.

Define, measure, and improve reliability objectives (SLI/SLO/SLA) and error budgets for the tower.

Drive incident, problem, and change management participate in bridge / RCA calls and lead root-cause analysis.

Perform data analysis on incidents and manual effort, converting recurring patterns into automation opportunities.

Develop workflow diagrams, process documentation, runbooks, and obtain stakeholder approvals.

Collaborate with cross-functional teams to drive automation adoption and standardization.

Support implementation using Python, Ansible, and DevOps / CI-CD practices.

Track benefits realization (FTE savings, productivity gains) and report to leadership on a weekly / fortnightly basis.

Ensure adherence to operational standards, governance, security, and reliability objectives.

Required Skills:

Automation: Strong hands-on Python scripting and Ansible automation for provisioning, configuration, remediation, and orchestration.

SRE concepts: Reliability engineering, toil reduction, SLI/SLO/error budgets, observability, and capacity / performance management.

DevOps & CI/CD: Working knowledge of Git / GitHub / GitLab, CI-CD pipelines (Jenkins / GitLab CI), and version control practices.

ITSM: Change, Request, and Incident Management using ServiceNow delivering within SLA under tight timelines.

Analytical: Strong troubleshooting, data-analysis, and problem-solving skills.

Communication: Strong written and verbal communication able to create presentations and process / workflow documentation.

GenAI & Agentic AI:

Exposure GenAI-assisted operations and GenWizard / GenAI solution development.

Understanding Agentic AI concepts, prompt engineering, and AI-powered workflow automation.

1.5 Experience, Education & Professional Attributes

Experience: 8 – 10 years of relevant tower experience, including hands-on automation.

Education: Bachelor's degree in IT, Computer Science, or a related discipline.

Foundational certification: ITIL v3 / v4 Foundation certified (preferred).

High technical aptitude and commitment to continuous skill development.

Ability to operate independently, take initiative, and make decisions with minimal supervision.

Strong team player, adaptable to cross-skilling and flexible to on-call / 24x7 support.
