Site Reliability Engineer

Optomi, in partnership with our client, is seeking an experienced SRE II to join their team for a 6‑month contract‑to‑hire opportunity that is 2 days hybrid onsite in Irving, TX.

W2 only – no C2C/sponsorship at this time.

We are seeking a highly skilled Site Reliability Engineer II to join our engineering organization. This role focuses on building resilient, scalable, and automated systems— not traditional production support.
The ideal candidate has hands‑on engineering experience across cloud infrastructure, observability, automation, and reliability‑focused development.

You will work closely with development, cloud engineering, and platform teams to ensure high availability, optimal performance, and operational excellence of critical customer‑facing applications.

• Contribute directly to the reliability, scalability, performance, and security of critical applications.
• Build reusable services, automation, and frameworks that improve platform stability and developer velocity.

Design and enhance cloud infrastructure using Azure services, including:

• Event Hub
• Function Apps
• Implement and manage Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform.

• Build and deploy containerized applications using Docker (2–3+ years).
• Support Kubernetes workloads via AKS, including scaling, upgrades, and cluster reliability improvements.

• Collaborate with development teams using a working knowledge of .NET.

• Implement and optimize monitoring and alerting strategies.
• Use Splunk Observability Cloud (preferred) or equivalent observability platforms to enhance visibility and reduce MTTR.
• Drive proactive incident identification, root‑cause analysis, and long‑term fixes.

• Design and implement SLOs, SLIs, and error budgets.
• Develop auto‑scaling policies, failover strategies, and disaster recovery procedures.
• Optimize application and database performance to ensure reliability across high‑traffic, mission‑critical systems.

• 3–5+ years of hands‑on SRE experience
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent experience)

• Terraform
• Docker
• Monitoring tools (Splunk Observability Cloud preferred)
• .NET ecosystem (understanding of development fundamentals)

• Strong troubleshooting and analytical skills
• Performance tuning across applications, databases, and cloud services
• Experience improving uptime, latency, throughput, or cost efficiency of production applications
• Familiarity with SRE principles and modern operational practices
