About the Role:
As a SRE Lead at BigPanda, you will play a critical role in ensuring the reliability, scalability, and performance of the platform that powers our customers’ operations. You’ll operate at the intersection of software engineering and production operations, taking full ownership of the systems you build and run.
This role is not just about responding to incidents — it’s about fundamentally improving how our platform behaves under real-world conditions. You will drive reliability initiatives end-to-end: defining measurable service goals, shaping engineering priorities through error budgets, and implementing solutions that prevent issues before they occur.
You’ll work closely with teams across the organization, embedding reliability and observability into every layer of the stack. At the same time, you’ll leverage automation, modern infrastructure practices, and emerging AI capabilities to continuously evolve how we operate and scale.
What you will do:
Develop deep product knowledge across our platform - Understanding its internals, failure modes, and operational behavior well enough to own incident resolution end-to-end.
Define and track SLAs/SLOs/SLIs across critical platform services, and use error budgets to drive engineering decisions.
Own production reliability - including on-call rotations, incident response, and post-mortems - with a focus on minimizing MTTR and preventing recurrence through systemic fixes, not just firefighting.
Work hand-in-hand with engineering teams across the stack - infrastructure, application, and business layers - to embed reliability requirements everywhere.
What skills and experience you’ll bring to BigPanda:
- 5+ years of experience as an SRE (or similar role) in a high-scale production environment, with hands-on ownership across the full stack - infrastructure and application layers.
- Business-level reliability experience is a strong advantage.
- Experience in designing, building, and operating cloud-native systems on AWS.
- Hands-on experience with maintaining Node.JS or JVM-based applications running with the following: MongoDB, ElasticSearch, Kafka.
- Strong coding skills and a software engineering mindset - you build your own tools rather than waiting for someone else to.
- Experience with infrastructure-as-code and modern container orchestration platforms.
- Practical experience building or integrating AI-driven solutions (e.g., LLMs, agents, or AI-powered operational tooling).
- A true owner - you take responsibility for systems end-to-end and proactively drive improvements without waiting for direction.
- A problem solver who practices adaptability and flexibility to business needs.

The Company
What We Do
BigPanda is the only Event Correlation and Automation platform built for domain-agnostic AIOps. We transform how IT teams prevent outages and resolve incidents by turning data into insights and action. Without BigPanda, IT Ops and DevOps teams struggle with manual and reactive incident response capabilities that are badly suited for the scale, complexity and velocity of modern IT environments. This results in painful outages, unhappy customers, growing IT headcount and the inability to focus on innovation. Fortune 500 enterprises such as Intel, Cisco, United, Nike, Marriott and Expedia rely on BigPanda to prevent outages, reduce costs, and give their teams time back for digital transformation. BigPanda helps organizations take a giant step towards Autonomous IT Operations by turning IT noise into insights and manual tasks into automated actions. BigPanda is backed by top-tier investors including Sequoia Capital, Mayfield, Battery Ventures, Greenfield Partners and Insight Partners. Visit www.bigpanda.io for more information.
