Site Reliability Security Engineer

A Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) is a discipline that combines software and systems engineering for building and running large-scale, distributed, fault-tolerant systems. SRE ensures that internal and external services meet or exceed reliability and performance expectations while adhering to Equifax engineering, security, and vulnerability management principles. SRE is also an engineering approach to building and running production systems – we engineer solutions to operational problems. As SREs are responsible for overall system operation, we use a breadth of tools and approaches to solve a broad set of problems. Practices such as limiting time spent on operational work, blameless postmortems, proactive identification, and prevention of potential outages.
 

What you’ll do

• Manage system(s) uptime across cloud-native (AWS, GCP) and hybrid architectures.
• Build infrastructure as code (IAC) patterns that meet security and engineering standards using one or more technologies (Terraform, scripting with cloud CLI, and programming with cloud SDK).
• Build CI/CD pipelines for build, test and deployment of application and cloud architecture patterns, using platform (Jenkins) and cloud-native toolchains.
• Build automated tooling to deploy service request to push a change into production
• Solve problems and triage complex distributed architecture service map.
• Build runbooks that are comprehensive and detailed to manage detect, remediate and restore services.
• Participate in availability blameless postmortem and join the call to action to remediate recurrences.
• On call for high severity application incidents and improving run books to improve MTTR
