Job Description

We are seeking a highly skilled

Site Reliability Engineer (SRE)

to lead modernization initiatives across IT operations by establishing robust observability practices and automating manual processes (toil). The ideal candidate will combine strategic thinking with deep hands-on expertise to drive reliability, scalability, and efficiency across complex technology landscapes. This role requires strong leadership, advanced technical proficiency, and the ability to foster a culture of reliability and continuous improvement.

Primary Responsibilities

Operational Modernization & Strategy

Collaborate with product engineering teams to define and implement strategies that modernize IT operations, enhance observability, and reduce toil. Architect, deploy, and optimize observability platforms to monitor system health, performance, and reliability. Define and drive strategies for AI-driven alerting, proactive anomaly detection, and event correlation to reduce MTTD and MTTR. Develop and implement SRE practices including Service Level Objectives (SLOs), Service Level Indicators (SLIs), and error budget policies. Create and maintain an AIOps roadmap to improve operational efficiency and accelerate automation initiatives.

Automation & Reliability Engineering

Automate repetitive processes using scripting, orchestration tools, and AI/ML-driven automation models. Drive initiatives for automated incident response, self-healing workflows, and autonomous operations. Enable shift-left engineering practices by partnering with engineering, architecture, and product teams to improve system reliability early in the development lifecycle. Lead continuous improvement initiatives focusing on reducing operational burden and improving resilience across systems and services.

Incident Management & Root Cause Analysis

Oversee and enhance incident management processes through automation and structured problem-solving. Conduct root cause analyses and drive remediation efforts to prevent recurrence and strengthen system reliability.

Collaboration & Leadership

Work cross-functionally to ensure systems are built to be scalable, resilient, and maintainable. Mentor teams in adopting SRE principles, tools, and modern operational practices. Champion a culture of automation, observability, and reliability across the organization.
