• Work with Operations and Incident Command teams during and post incidents to drive excellence in Incident Management Process
• Compose and analyze dashboard to highlight areas of the business that need attention and help drive organizational KPI
• Create and respond to system generated alerts to maintain system health
• Work with Operations and Engineers to fill any gaps in alerting and telemetry
• Act as the primary SRE partner for one or more engineering teams—shaping architecture, reviewing designs, and embedding reliability best practices
• Mentor and coach other SREs and software engineers on topics such as debugging, observability, incident management, and performance optimization
• Contribute to and help standardize SRE practices, runbooks, and production readiness criteria across CPE and product teams
• Work with Product Management, collaborators and other developers to understand design requirements and provide estimates for development

• Practical experience operating large‑scale services in public cloud (Azure preferred; AWS/GCP acceptable with willingness to learn Azure)
• Experience with Linux, networking fundamentals, and common infrastructure components (load balancers, DNS, certificates, queues, caches, databases)
• Experience with Observability stacks (e.g., Prometheus/Grafana, OpenTelemetry/Chronicle, centralized logging)
• Experience with CI/CD systems and deployment strategies (blue/green, canary, rolling updates)
• Experience with incident management and on‑call operations for 24x7 services
• Experience in building dashboards and metrics analysis
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Experience in high‑availability, regulated, or customer‑facing SaaS environments
• Background in reliability practices such as chaos testing, capacity modeling, and performance tuning
• Exposure to release management/unified release practices and safe rollout strategies (feature flags, staged rollouts, configuration‑driven changes)
• Demonstrated leadership driving cross‑team initiatives: reliability programs, migrations, or major refactors
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to explain complex technical topics to both engineers and non‑technical stakeholders
