Site Reliability Engineer; SRE

Site Reliability Engineer (SRE)

Specialize in ensuring the reliability, resilience, and recoverability of enterprise services and systems across cloud, on-prem, and store environments. Serve as the SRE voice within incident and problem management, leading major incident response, driving root cause analysis, and partnering with Software Engineers and platform teams to reduce recurrence and improve system health in production.

Minimum Requirements:

• 3+ years of experience in Site Reliability Engineering, incident management, or production support for enterprise systems
• Experience leading or participating in major incident management (incident commander, bridge/war-room facilitation, executive communication during outages)
• Experience with problem management and root cause analysis (RCA), including driving corrective/preventive actions to closure
• Solid understanding of observability and monitoring concepts and tooling (e.g., Dynatrace, Azure Monitor) to detect, triage, and diagnose production issues
• Working knowledge of Linux and scripting (e.g., BASH, Python) for troubleshooting and diagnostic automation
• Familiarity with Kubernetes, Docker, and cloud platforms (Azure, GCP) sufficient to troubleshoot and reason about system behavior in production
• Experience working in an Agile environment, tracking work and metrics via a platform such as Jira
• Strong communication skills — able to translate technical incident details for both engineering teams and business stakeholders under time pressure
• Willingness to travel and provide onsite support for new go-lives and pilots
• Familiarity with Point of Sale Systems in Enterprise environments

Key Responsibilities:

• Act as the SRE lead/participant in Major Incident Management: joining bridges, driving triage, coordinating cross-team response, and communicating status to stakeholders during active incidents
• Own or contribute to Problem Management: conducting RCAs, identifying systemic issues, and tracking corrective actions to completion in partnership with engineering and the platform SRE team
• Collaborate with business partners and engineering teams to define and monitor key SLOs/SLIs, and use them to prioritize reliability work
• Improve traceability, observability, and retrievability of system behavior in production using tools such as Dynatrace and Azure
• Build/tune monitoring and alerting to reduce noise, catch issues earlier, and speed up diagnosis across cloud, on-prem, and store environments
• Partner with the dedicated platform SRE team to escalate systemic/longer-term reliability gaps uncovered during incident and problem work
• Author clear playbooks, runbooks, and postmortem documentation for use by the broader engineering organization
• Participate in an off-hours on-call rotation and periodic off-hours work during major incidents or maintenance windows
• Demonstrate core values of respect, honesty, integrity, diversity, inclusion, and safety

Top 3 skills:

• Major Incident Management experience — has actually run or driven a bridge/war-room for a P1/P2 outage
• RCA/Problem Management rigor — can articulate and execute structured RCA methodology and drive corrective actions to closure
• Production troubleshooting under pressure across a mixed stack — comfortable reading logs/dashboards and reasoning about cloud + on-prem + store/POS systems simultaneously

Additional Info:

• On-call/off-hours availability required
• Travel expectations: local and periodic wider travel for new sites
