Overview

Sr Staff Site Reliability Engineer (SRE)

Responsibilities

• Define and drive Organizations SRE strategy across engineering teams.
• Establish reliability standards, architectural guardrails, and production readiness frameworks.
• Initiate, participate in, and review architectural changes leveraging development experience to ensure reliability and operability are built in, not bolted on.
• Apply SDLC knowledge to reliability decisions engage early in design and architecture reviews to embed reliability, testability, and operability as first-class requirements.
• Proactively identify system-wide gaps continuously assess the platform for reliability blind spots, missing observability, or architectural debt, and drive initiatives to close them without waiting to be asked.
• Bridge development and SRE teams translate between engineering intent and operational reality, serving as a technical liaison who can read code, review PRs, and contribute to service-level design decisions.
• Design and maintain highly available, multi-region, multi-cloud systems.
• Ensure platform reliability supporting millions of IoT devices globally.
• Guide engineering teams in building fault-tolerant, scalable microservices and monolithic systems.
• Define and enforce SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets.
• Lead architecture reviews and production readiness reviews.
• Partner with strategic teams to deliver our organization as a cloud-integrated service and support partner integrations.
• Improve and streamline production release processes.
• Implement safe deployment strategies (canary, blue/green, progressive delivery).
• Build CI/CD guardrails to reduce deployment risk and improve reliability.
• Develop and mature observability strategies across infrastructure and services.
• Lead high-severity incident response, facilitate blameless postmortems, and drive systemic improvements to prevent recurring issues.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of combined software engineering and SRE/infrastructure experience, with a clear progression from development into reliability or platform engineering.
• Deep understanding of the complete Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) enabling well-informed reliability and design decisions across all phases of software delivery.
• Strong software development background with hands-on experience building and shipping production software enabling effective design collaboration, code-level review, and reliability-driven architectural input.
• End-to-end system comprehension ability to reason about the full stack from device/client behavior through API layer, backend services, data stores, and infrastructure, connecting the dots across teams and domains.
• Self-directed gap identification demonstrated initiative in spotting reliability, scalability, or process gaps and driving improvements without needing explicit direction.
• Collaborative cross-team communication proven ability to work across engineering, product, and operations teams; comfortable influencing without authority and presenting technical decisions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Proven experience operating large-scale distributed systems in production.
• Strong hands-on expertise with AWS and GCP cloud platforms.
• Deep experience with Kubernetes in production environments.
• Advanced knowledge of Terraform, including modular design and infrastructure governance.
• Strong understanding of distributed systems, networking, and system reliability principles.
• Experience supporting Java-based monolithic systems and microservices architectures.
• Proficiency in Python for automation and tooling.
• Experience with modern observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana .
