SRE

Key Responsibilities

1. Reliability Engineering & Operations

• Ensure the scalability, availability, and resilience of mission-critical systems in Azure and Kubernetes environments.

• Build SLOs/SLIs and establish reliability best practices following SRE principles.

• Perform root-cause analysis, incident response, post-mortems, and continuous improvement activities.

• Automate operational tasks and reduce toil through scripting and infrastructure automation.

2. Kubernetes Platform Management

• Deploy, configure, and manage workloads on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) or self-managed Kubernetes clusters.

• Manage cluster upgrades, node pools, RBAC, secrets, ingress controllers, autoscaling, and capacity planning.

• Implement GitOps or automated deployment workflows for Kubernetes manifests or Helm charts.

• Optimize cluster performance, networking, and security.

3. CI/CD Pipeline Development

• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines using tools such as Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, or Jenkins.

• Implement automated testing, build pipelines, artifact management, and secure deployment workflows.

• Integrate CI/CD with Kubernetes, container registries, and infrastructure automation.

• Enforce DevOps best practices, including versioning, release automation, and rollbacks.

4. Monitoring, Observability & Alerting

• Implement and maintain observability stacks using Prometheus, Grafana, Alertmanager, Loki, or similar tools.

• Create metrics dashboards, alerts, and performance monitoring for both applications and infrastructure.

• Develop logging, tracing, and telemetry systems for full stack visibility.

• Monitor capacity, resource utilization, cluster health, and system performance.

5. Azure Cloud Engineering

• Design and maintain Azure cloud infrastructure: virtual networks, VM scale sets, load balancers, storage, and identity management.

• Implement infrastructure-as-code solutions using Terraform, Bicep, or ARM templates.

• Ensure compliance, governance, scaling, and cost optimization across cloud resources.

• Integrate Azure services (Key Vault, Monitor, Log Analytics, Container Registry, Service Bus, etc.) into platform operations.

Required Skills & Experience

• 3-8+ years of experience in SRE, DevOps, Cloud Engineering, or related roles.

• Strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes (AKS preferred) and cloud-native architectures.

• Proficiency with Azure cloud services and infrastructure.

• Solid experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines.

• Deep knowledge of Grafana and Prometheus for monitoring and observability.

• Strong scripting/automation skills in Bash, Python, or PowerShell.

• Experience with containers (Docker), Git, and distributed systems.
