Responsibilities

• Ensure ecosystem availability and performance in production environments, Pro-actively preventing P1, P2, potential P3s.
• Engage & influence product and engineering teams during the design and development phases to embed reliability and operability into new services defining & enforce events, logging, monitoring, and observability standards across applications.
• Accountable to institute non-functional requirements (NFRs) are embedded early including SLA/SLO/SLI and error budgets into the products offerings as part of the engineering solution.
• Leads the team diagnosing any anomalies prior to any user and driving the necessary remediations across the teams involved in end-to-end ecosystem availability, performance and consumption of the cloud architected application ecosystem leveraging SRE Orchestration solutions
• Collaborates with Engineering & support teams, including participation in escalations, , and blameless postmortems,
• Work closely with customer-facing support teams to empower them with SRE insights and tooling.
• Observe, diagnose & improve the end-2-end ecosystem performance of the Modern architected application portfolio i.e. technical understanding of interactions of a full stack application alongside with peer SRE team member.
• Continuously optimize the L2/support operations work via SRE workflow automation
• Shape the SRE orchestration platform design with inputs from Production Operations, Business usage & Product and engineering teams.
• Actively engage and drive AI Ops adoption across teams

Qualifications

• 9-13 years of work experience evolving to a SRE engineer with 3-5 years of experience in continuously improving and transforming IT operations ways of working
• Bachelors degree in Computer Science, Information Technology or a related field
• Proven experience as an SRE in designing the events diagnostics, performance measures and alert solutions to meet the SLA/SLO/SLIs.
• The ideal Engineer will be highly quantitative, have great judgment, able to connect dots across ecosytems, and efficiently work cross-functionally across teams to ensure SRE orchestrating solutions are meeting customer/end-user expectations
• The candidate will take a pragmatic approach resolving incidents, including the ability to systemically triangulate root causes and work effectively with external and internal teams to meet objectives.
• A strong expertise of SRE (Software Reliability Engineering) and IT Service Management (ITSM) processes with a track record for improving service offerings pro-actively resolving incidents, providing a seamless customer/end-user experience and proactively identifying and mitigating areas of risk.
