Senior Site Reliability Engineer
About the role
Join our team
Our Global Sustaining Engineering team sits at the intersection of software engineering and infrastructure, ensuring the services our customers depend on are fast, resilient, and always available. As a Senior Site Reliability Engineer, you'll take direct ownership of production services — from initial design through day-to-day operation — while partnering with product, engineering, and security teams to build and maintain business-critical systems. In this role, you will deepen your technical expertise and grow your leadership presence by mentoring the next generation of SREs. You will also gain hands-on experience with intelligent tooling in real-world workflows.
What you'll get to do...
- Design, implement, and operate scalable, highly available production services while diagnosing and resolving complex infrastructure, network, and application issues
- Build and maintain alerting pipelines, dashboards, and SLO-driven monitoring strategies using Icinga, Prometheus, and Grafana
- Lead incident response end-to-end — performing root-cause analysis, authoring blameless post-mortems, and driving corrective actions to closure
- Develop and extend Infrastructure as Code coverage and build internal tooling that eliminates manual, repetitive operational work
- Mentor SRE I and SRE II engineers through code reviews, debugging sessions, and knowledge-sharing talks
- Apply LLM-driven log analysis, anomaly detection, and generative AI tools to accelerate incident response and runbook creation — validating all outputs before use
Your experience should include...
- 6+ years of professional experience in Site Reliability Engineering or Platform Engineering with demonstrated success leading organization-wide reliability programs
- Deep hands-on expertise with Kubernetes (deployments, operators, custom resources) and Docker in production environments
- Advanced Linux experience solving problems involving kernel internals, TCP/IP, DNS, and load balancers
- Proficiency in Python for production-grade automation and scripting, with working knowledge of Bash
- Expertise in Ansible and at least one additional Infrastructure as Code tool such as Terraform or Pulumi, with hands-on mastery of Icinga, Prometheus, and Grafana
- Understanding of large language models, embeddings, and basic machine learning pipelines, with the ability to evaluate and integrate AI-ops tools into daily work
You might also have...
- Experience building and maintaining continuous integration and continuous delivery pipelines using Jenkins, GitLab CI, or GitHub Actions
- Demonstrated experience defining and managing Service Level Objectives, Service Level Indicators, and Service Level Agreements across production
