Summary

We're looking for a Senior SRE to drive technical and thought leadership for our SRE Platform capabilities across the US in partnership with global stakeholders. You will work closely with engineering leadership and senior engineers to shape reliability strategy, translate it into clear execution plans, and deliver foundational platform improvements that raise the reliability bar across teams.

This is a high-impact IC role for someone who leads through influence, technical depth, and delivery -setting direction, building consensus, and shipping pragmatic solutions across cloud and onprem environments.

Key Responsibilities:

Partner with engineering leadership to shape reliability strategy, priorities, and measurable execution plans across US and globally.
Define and drive adoption of SRE standards (service readiness, operational requirements, incident practices) through influence and enablement.
Operationalize SLOs/SLIs and error budgets, guiding teams on reliability vs. velocity vs. cost tradeoffs.
Advance end-to-end observability with Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Tempo, OpenTelemetry (instrumentation patterns, alert quality, dashboards).
Raise Kubernetes production reliability via best-practice configuration (autoscaling, probes, disruption budgets, rollout strategies, capacity).
Build automation and self-service tooling to improve release safety, operational efficiency, and recovery.
Lead by example in incidents and on-call (~1 week/month): calm execution, clear comms, blameless postmortems, durable follow-ups.
Collaborate with global SRE/Platform peers to align on patterns, share learnings, and converge on common platform direction.

To be considered a good fit, you must have:

7+ years of experience in SRE or similar roles within complex, distributed systems environments.
A Bachelor's degree in engineering, computer science, information systems, or equivalent experience
SME with key SRE technologies such as Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Tempo, and Open Telemetry.
Extensive knowledge of container orchestration using Kubernetes and containerization with Docker.
Hands-on experience with both cloud (AWS preferred) and on-premises hosting platforms.
Proven ability to script in languages like Python, Bash, or Go, to automate routine tasks and deployment pipelines.
Strong understanding of CI/CD principles, agile methodologies, and DevOps culture.
High level of initiative, passion for reliability engineering, detail orientation, and follow-through capabilities.
Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to a diverse audience.
