Job responsibilities
- Lead Live Site Management and cloud production management practices, including production readiness, change governance, incident response, problem management, and operational risk reduction.
- Define and improve SRE practices, including service-level indicators, service-level objectives, error budgets, capacity planning, and reliability engineering and Advance observability across applications and infrastructure through effective logging, metrics, distributed tracing, dashboards, alerting, and automated anomaly detection and Apply knowledge of tools within the Software Development Life Cycle toolchain, including enterprise-authorized AI-assisted development and automation capabilities, to improve the value realized through automation.
- Shape the end-to-end AWS cloud architecture strategy across all product components ; Strengthen cloud cost strategy and optimization across the product.
- Advance the resiliency strategy, including multi-region, active-active, failover/failback, and disaster recovery.
- Evolve the automation and infrastructure-as-code strategy ; Mature AI integration across engineering and product workflows.
- Raise the bar on shared architectural standards and decision-making across teams ; Sharpen how complex technical strategy is distilled into leadership-facing narratives and Establish production health, availability, performance, and resiliency measures that provide actionable insight to engineering and business leadership
- Drive major incident response, root-cause analysis, corrective actions, and the systematic elimination of recurring production issues.
- Drives team adoption of enterprise-authorized AI-assisted engineering practices within the work environment to improve code quality, delivery speed, and operational outcomes (e.g., AI-assisted code review/refactoring, test strategy acceleration, incident/root-cause analysis support), while establishing consistent validation standards (secure coding, peer review, automated testing) and promoting reuse of effective patterns across the team.
Applies knowledge of tools within the Software Development Life Cycle toolchain, including enterprise-authorized AI-assisted development and automation capabilities, to improve the value realized by automation.
Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills
- A. Formal training or certification on software engineering concepts and 5+ years applied experience
- Production engineering roles spanning AWS platform engineering, SRE/operations, and software development, with leadership ownership of critical services.
- Deep hands-on experience with AWS ECS and EC2 in production: architecture, deployments, scaling, capacity management, AMI strategy, patching, and performance tuning.
- Expert-level AWS networking & security: VPC architecture, routing, Security Groups/NACLs, ALB/NLB, DNS/TLS, IAM least privilege (incl. role design, boundaries/guardrails where applicable).
- Strong Infrastructure as Code (IaC) expertise (Terraform , CloudFormation/CDK ): reusable module design, environment promotion, state management, drift detection, and safe rollout patterns.
- Strong SRE leadership: defines SLIs/SLOs, sets alerting standards, applies error budgets, drives reliability roadmaps, and balances reliability vs delivery with stakeholders.
- Advanced observability and incident response using Dynatrace, Splunk, and Grafana: tracing and service flow analysis, log search/correlation (SPL), dashboard/alert tuning, and measurable MTTR reduction.
- leads complex incident triage, performs RCAs, authors blameless postmortems, and ensures corrective actions land via engineering changes and Demonstrated software engineering + code-commit capability: designs/implements automation and platform tooling, enforces code quality/testing, and sets strong code review practices for the team.
- Experience establishing production readiness standards, operational controls, runbooks, dashboards, and measurable service health objectives.
- Demonstrated experience leading effective use of approved AI-assisted software development tools, with the ability to set team expectations for validating AI outputs for correctness, performance, and security.
Strong understanding of responsible AI use in engineering workflows, including data sensitivity, secure handling of inputs and outputs, and adherence to resiliency and security expectations; experience coaching engineers on safe, compliant adoption within delivery practices.
Preferred qualifications, capabilities, and skills
