- Drive continuous improvement initiatives focused on availability, scalability, and performance.
- Support and oversee release and deployment activities, including after-hours support when required.
- Champion best practices around CI/CD, infrastructure as code, and cloud-native operations.
- Mentor engineers and provide technical leadership across SRE and development teams.
- Collaborate with stakeholders to align reliability goals with business priorities.
- 12+ years of IT experience in SRE, Dev Ops, or Production Engineering
- Strong Java development experience (Java 17+, Spring Boot Microservices, Spring Web)

- Strong expertise in MongoDB (data modeling, design, optimization)
- Experience with Apache Kafka and event-driven architectures
- Working knowledge of Oracle Database

- Solid experience with CI/CD, automation, and IaC (Terraform, Ansible)
- Exposure to AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Git Hub Copilot)
- Excellent troubleshooting skills in high-pressure production environments
- Strong communication, collaboration, and ownership mindset
- Experience with monitoring and observability tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, and the ELK stack.
- Knowledge of security best practices, compliance standards, and production hardening.
- Prior experience leading or mentoring SRE teams or guiding engineers in reliability practices.
