About the Role
We’re hiring a seasoned Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) to drive reliability, scalability, and performance across cloud-native systems. You will own AWS infrastructure, containerized workloads (Docker), CI/CD, observability, and incident response, partnering closely with Dev, QA, and Security to ensure high availability and cost‑efficient operations.
Key Responsibilities
- Define and maintain SLOs/SLIs/SLAs, error budgets, and reliability roadmaps.
- Build and manage AWS infrastructure (EC2/ECS/EKS, ALB/NLB, ASG, VPC, IAM, Route 53, S3, CloudFront, RDS/ElastiCache).
- Containerize and operate services using Docker; orchestrate via ECS/EKS/Kubernetes.
- Implement and optimize CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions/Jenkins/Azure DevOps) with blue/green & canary deployments.
- Set up observability: metrics, logs, traces (CloudWatch, Prometheus/Grafana, ELK/OpenSearch, X-Ray).
- Automate operations using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/CloudFormation) and scripting (Python/Bash).
- Establish incident management: on-call, runbooks, RCA, postmortems, and remediation plans.
- Drive performance tuning, capacity planning, and cost optimization in AWS.
- Implement security best practices: least privilege IAM, secrets management, SSL/TLS, vulnerability scanning.
- Partner with development teams to design for reliability (circuit breakers, retries, backoff, health checks).
Required Skills & Qualifications
- 7+ years in SRE/DevOps/Cloud Operations with production ownership.
- Strong hands-on experience with AWS (EC2, ECS/EKS, IAM, VPC, ALB/NLB, Route 53, S3, CloudWatch).
- Solid experience with Docker and container orchestration (EKS/Kubernetes or ECS).
- Proficiency in CI/CD and release engineering; pipelines, artifact management, approvals.
- Strong in monitoring/alerting and incident response (on-call rotations, playbooks, MTTR reduction).
- Experience with IaC (Terraform/CloudFormation) and automation (Python/Bash).
- Good understanding of networking (DNS, TCP/IP, TLS, security groups/NACLs) and Linux internals.
- Knowledge of resiliency patterns: autoscaling, graceful degradation, rate limiting, caching.
- Excellent communication, collaboration, and documentation skills.
