What You’ll Do

  • Reliability Management: Manage system uptime across cloud-native (AWS, GCP) and hybrid architectures.

  • Infrastructure as Code: Build reusable IaC patterns using Terraform and Cloud SDKs to meet security standards.

  • CI/CD Engineering: Design and maintain robust pipelines using Jenkins and cloud-native toolchains for seamless deployments.

  • Incident Response: Lead triage for complex distributed architectures; participate in on-call rotations for high-severity incidents and drive MTTR reduction.

  • Operational Engineering: Replace manual "toil" with automated tooling and lead blameless postmortems to prevent recurrence.

What Experience You Need

  • Education: BS degree in Computer Science, related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.

  • Experience: 7–10 years in technical roles (Software Engineering or Systems Administration) with at least 4 years specifically managing production environments in AWS or GCP.

  • Coding Proficiency: Strong experience in at least one programming language (Python, Go, or Java) and shell scripting (Bash).

  • Orchestration: Hands-on expertise with Kubernetes (GKE/EKS) and configuration management tools like Ansible or Chef.

  • Observability: Proven experience with monitoring and logging stacks (e.g., Dynatrace, Prometheus, ELK) to ensure SLO/SLI compliance.

What Could Set You Apart

  • Cloud Certification: AWS Certified Solutions Architect or Professional Google Cloud Engineer.

  • DevSecOps Mindset: A track record of integrating security scanning and compliance directly into the CI/CD lifecycle.

  • Systems Thinking: Ability to demonstrate how you’ve optimized complex distributed systems to improve global availability.

  • Cloud Financial Engineering (FinOps): Partner with Finance and Product leadership to drive cloud cost transparency; implement automated rightsizing, cost-optimization, and reliable cloud cost forecasting.

  • Team Leadership & Talent Growth: Direct a high-performing squad of SREs, providing technical mentorship, conducting performance reviews, and fostering a culture of psychological safety and continuous learning through structured career pathing.

  • Mentorship & Influence: mentoring senior engineers and influencing technical roadmaps across cloud-native environments.
