This role brings production supportexpertiseand engineering discipline earlier in the lifecycle to influence design,validatereliability requirements, reduce production risk, and drive measurable operational improvement.

Your Primary Responsibilities

• Participate in design reviews, sprint zero, and delivery planning todefine andvalidatereliabilityrequirements,including resiliency, observability, fault tolerance,performance, scalability,holiday and special-day processing,and disaster recovery.
• Collaborate with Major Release Management to ensure each release meets SRE standards for observability, resiliency,and reliability requirements, support readiness, and knowledge base coverage.
• Define and improve monitoring,observability, dashboards, telemetry coverage, and alertstrategyto strengthen outage detection, reduce noise, improve signal quality, andaccelerateincident response.
• Assistin major incident response and root cause analysis byidentifyingobservability gaps, improvingtelemetryandknowledge articles, and drivingactionsthat reduce repeat incidents.
• Drive automation, intelligent tooling, and AI-assisted remediationto reduce manual toil, improve consistency, accelerate recovery, andscaleoperationalsupport.
• Serve as theoperational readinessauthority before production releases byvalidatingreliability requirements, assessing support readiness, surfacingproductionrisks, andconfirming releasesupportability.
• Lead capacity, performance, workload trend, and resiliencyanalysisto ensure applications scale reliably under normal, peak, and stress conditions.
• Establishand track reliabilitymetrics such as availability, incident volume,MTTx, alert quality, automation coverage,reliability requirementcompliance, change failure rate, and repeat incident reduction.
• Participate in application reliability governance and service reviews by presenting incident trends,compliance metrics, operational risks, improvement actions, and readiness gaps.
• Prepare executive reporting on reliability posture, release readiness, observability maturity, alert quality, incident trends, automation progress,risks, andimprovement outcomes.
• PromoteSREpracticesthrough mentoring,standardsadoption, best-practice sharing, andapproved AI toolsthat improveknowledge, observability, performance, security, and maintainability.
