• Establish consistent monitoring, observability, alerting, and incident-management practices.
• Improve system availability, performance, scalability, and operational resilience.
• Create dashboards and reporting that provide visibility into service health and reliability.
• Help teams reduce manual operational work through automation.
• Facilitate root-cause analysis and translate findings into long-term improvements.
• Develop documentation, playbooks, and governance standards that can be adopted across teams.
• Coach engineering teams on SRE principles and help build sustainable internal capabilities.

Required Qualifications

• Experience with observability, monitoring, alerting, and incident-management tools.
• Strong understanding of infrastructure automation, CI/CD, and cloud operational practices.
• Experience creating technical frameworks and driving adoption across multiple teams.
• Ability to communicate effectively with engineering teams, technical leaders, and business stakeholders.
• Strong documentation, facilitation, and technical leadership skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working in a large, complex enterprise environment.
• Familiarity with AWS services such as CloudWatch, EC2, ECS/EKS, Lambda, and related cloud-native tooling.
• Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform or CloudFormation.
• Experience with observability platforms such as Datadog, Dynatrace, Splunk, Grafana, or New Relic.
• Previous experience serving as an SRE lead, architect, or enterprise-level subject matter expert.
• Extension potential: High
• Primary focus: SRE framework development, SLO implementation, reliability maturity, and long-term organizational adoption
