Job Title: Site Reliability Engineering Lead
Summary
We are seeking a seasoned Site Reliability Engineering Lead to take end-to-end ownership of our retail eCommerce platform's operational excellence. You will drive SRE culture across engineering teams, champion observability, and lead a cross-functional onsite/offshore team to deliver exceptional uptime, performance, and release velocity. This role blends deep technical expertise with strategic leadership - you'll be equally comfortable reviewing Kubernetes manifests, tuning Akamai rules, and presenting SLO dashboards to senior leadership.
Required Skills:
Platform Reliability & Availability
- Define, monitor, and enforce SLIs, SLOs, and Error Budgets for all eCommerce services

- Architect resilient multi-AZ, multi-region AWS deployments for zero-downtime operations
CI/CD & Automation
- Own and evolve Jenkins-based CI/CD pipelines for microservices deployments on Kubernetes/EKS
- Implement GitOps workflows; enforce trunk-based development and deployment gates
- Automate infrastructure provisioning using CloudFormation, Terraform, and AWS CDK
- Drive shift-left reliability practices: load testing, chaos gates, and SLO checks in pipeline
Cloud Infrastructure & CDN
- Manage Akamai CDN configuration: edge rules, caching policies, TLS, WAF, and traffic shaping
- Optimize AWS Auto Scaling Groups, ALBs, and CloudFront for peak eCommerce traffic events
- Design and govern caching strategy across CDN, Redis, and Memcached layers
- Manage EKS/K8s cluster operations: node pools, Helm releases, resource quotas, and HPA/VPA
Observability & Performance
- Build and maintain Splunk APM and Splunk Cloud dashboards, alerts, and runbooks
- Implement distributed tracing (OpenTelemetry) across all microservices
- Conduct performance profiling and capacity planning aligned to traffic growth projections
- Establish DORA metrics tracking: deployment frequency, lead time, MTTR, change failure rate
Security, Compliance & Collaboration
- Partner with InfoSec on PCI-DSS compliance, vulnerability management, and secrets governance
- Enforce least-privilege IAM, network segmentation, and container security scanning in pipelines
- Lead cross-functional reviews with Dev, QA, and InfoSec for new service onboarding
- Coordinate onsite and offshore SRE teams; mentor junior engineers and foster SRE culture
