Site Reliability Engineer – IDP

Role Overview

• Ensure the availability, performance, and reliability of critical applications and services by designing and implementing robust monitoring, alerting, and optimization strategies.
• Define, measure, and maintain SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets to support service reliability goals.
• Partner with development teams to improve performance, reduce latency, and increase the resilience of applications in production.
• Work closely with platform and DevOps teams to ensure smooth alignment between infrastructure and application reliability.
• Define reliability standards and operational guardrails for platform capabilities and golden paths.
• Partner with platform engineering teams to design resilient self-service capabilities.
• Automate operational tasks such as deployments, rollbacks, scaling, failover, and recovery processes.
• Continuously improve CI/CD pipelines to reduce manual intervention and support safe, progressive delivery practices.
• Integrate automated validation, reliability checks, and operational guardrails into development and deployment workflows.
• Implement and maintain observability capabilities across production systems, including metrics, logs, traces, and dashboards.
• Develop dashboards, alerts, and operational views that provide real-time visibility into system health and application behavior.
• Act as a key responder during incidents, collaborating across teams to troubleshoot, mitigate, and resolve production issues.
• Conduct root cause analysis for incidents and drive long-term corrective actions to prevent recurrence.
• Run fire drills, game days, and chaos engineering exercises to validate system resilience under failure conditions.
• Monitor resource usage, capacity trends, and scaling behavior to support future growth and performance needs.
• Partner with security teams to ensure services align with security best practices, including secure communication, access controls, and data protection.
• Lead or contribute to regular production readiness and operational review meetings to assess system health, review incidents, and prepare for releases.
