NOC Engineer / SRE
About the role
So, what’s the role all about?
The SRE – NOC role sits at the intersection of traditional Network Operations Center (NOC) responsibilities and engineering‑driven reliability practices. This role focuses on 24/7 service reliability, incident response, operational automation, and observability, while actively reducing operational toil through software and automation.
Unlike a traditional NOC analyst, an SRE‑NOC is expected to engineer problems away, not just respond to alerts.
How will you make an impact?
Incident Response & Operations
- Act as a primary or escalation responder in a 24x7 on‑call rotation
- Lead or support Major Incident (MI) response, including triage, mitigation, and resolution
- Coordinate across Engineering, Infrastructure, Security, and Product teams
- Execute and improve runbooks, playbooks, and escalation paths
- Drive blameless post‑incident reviews (PIRs) and track corrective actions
Monitoring, Alerting & Observability
- Own service health monitoring across infrastructure, applications, and dependencies
- Design and maintain alerting strategies that align with SLIs/SLOs
- Reduce alert fatigue through signal‑to‑noise improvements
- Build dashboards using tools such as:
- Grafana
- Prometheus
- Datadog / Splunk / CloudWatch
Reliability Engineering & Automation
- Automate repetitive operational tasks to reduce manual toil
- Improve mean time to detect (MTTD) and mean time to resolve (MTTR)
- Develop scripts and tools (Python, Bash, Go, etc.) to support NOC/SRE workflows
- Implement self‑healing and auto‑remediation where possible
- Partner with engineering teams to improve system design for reliability
Platform & Infrastructure Support
- Support and troubleshoot:
- Linux‑based systems
- Cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP)
- Kubernetes / containerized environments
- Assist with capacity planning and availability reviews
- Ensure operational readiness for production releases
Have you got what it takes?
Technical
- Strong Linux systems administration
- Experience with incident management and production support
- Familiarity with:
- Cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred)
- Containers & orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)
- Monitoring/alerting platforms
- Scripting or programming experience in Python, Bash, Go, or similar
- Understanding of networking fundamentals (DNS, TCP/IP, load balancing)
Operational
- Experience working in 24x7 NOC or production operations environments
- Ability to handle high‑pressure incidents calmly and effectively
- Strong written and verbal communication for incident coordination
- Comfort working from runbooks—but improving them when they fall short
Preferred / Differentiators
- Experience defining or operating to SLOs / SLIs
- Prior migration from traditional NOC → SRE model
- Infrastructure as Code experience (Terraform, Ansible, etc.)
- Exposure to security, compliance, or regulated environments
