Job Description

Senior Site Reliability Engineer (SRE II)

Reports to the Director of SRE.

What you’ll do

SLIs/SLOs & contracts:
Define customer-centric SLIs/SLOs for Tier-0/Tier-1 services. Publish, review quarterly, and align teams to them.
Error budgeting (policy & tooling):
Run the error-budget policy with multi-window, multi-burn-rate alerts; clear runbooks and paging thresholds.
Gate changes by budget status (freeze/relax rules) wired into CI/CD.
Maintain SLO/EB dashboards (Azure Monitor, Grafana/Prometheus, App Insights). Run weekly SLO reviews with engineering/product.
Drive roadmap tradeoffs when budgets are at risk; land reliability epics.
Incidents without drama:
Lead SEV1/SEV2, own comms, run blameless postmortems, and make corrective actions stick.
Engineer reliability in:
Multi-AZ/region patterns (active-active/DR), PDBs/Pod Topology Spread, HPA/VPA/KEDA, resilient rollout/rollback.
AKS at scale:
Harden clusters (network, identity, policy), optimize node/pod density, ingress (AGIC/Nginx); mesh optional.
Observability that works:
Metrics/traces/logs with Azure Monitor/App Insights, Log Analytics, Prometheus/Grafana, OpenTelemetry. Alert on symptoms, not noise.
IaC & policy:
Terraform/Bicep modules, GitOps (Flux/Argo), policy-as-code (Azure Policy/OPA Gatekeeper). No snowflakes.
CI/CD reliability:
Azure DevOps/GitHub Actions with canary/blue-green, progressive delivery, auto-rollback, Key Vault-backed secrets.
Capacity & performance:
Load testing, right-sizing, autoscaling; partner with FinOps to reduce spend without hurting SLOs.
DR you can trust:
Define RTO/RPO, test backups/restore, run game days/chaos drills, validate ASR and multi-region failover.
Secure by default:
Entra ID (Azure AD), managed identities, Key Vault rotation, VNets/NSGs/Private Link, shift-left checks in CI.
Reduce toil:
Automate recurring ops, build self-service runbooks/chatops, publish golden paths for product teams.
Customer escalations:
Be the technical owner on calls; communicate tradeoffs and recovery plans with authority.
Document to scale:
Architectures, runbooks, postmortems, SLIs/SLOs—kept current and discoverable.
(If applicable) Streaming/ETL reliability:
Apply SRE practices (SLOs, backpressure, idempotency, replay) to NiFi/Flink/Kafka/Redpanda data flows.
