✅ **Project Overview:**
We are looking for a Cloud Site Reliability Engineer (Cloud SRE) to be part of Global SRE Team where you will help build a meaningful engineering discipline, combining software and systems to develop creative engineering solutions to operations problems. We are one of the largest SaaS companies on the planet with more than 10 Million business users on our application. This critical position provides great visibility and individual growth potential for an ambitious IT professional, but also requires proven experience with exponential growth on a global scale. You will join a team of curious problem solvers with a diverse set of perspectives who are thinking big and taking risks. In this environment, you will take the lead on relevant projects, supported by an organization that provides the support and mentorship you need to learn and grow. The Cloud SRE will work closely with other teams in Techops and Software Development organizations in support of building and maintaining Cloud datacenters and services.

**Stack:** AWS, EC2, EKS Cloudformation.

✅ **In this role you will work on the following:**
- Own the overall health and performance of our infrastructure in AWS that serves our customer-facing applications and services. (This would include all AWS accounts created through our Region-as-Code initiative but not the domain team services hosted within. Some of the core components include Route53, Transit Gateway, and IAM);
- Develop, test and debug automated tasks (Apps, Systems, Infrastructure) and manage orchestration tools like Jenkins and AWS lambda/Systems Manager;
- Perform analytics on previous incidents and usage patterns to better predict issues and take proactive actions;
- Work with development teams throughout the software life cycle ensuring sustainable software releases;
- Build and drive adoption for greater self-healing and resiliency patterns
- Lead and participate in performance tests; identify bottlenecks, opportunities for optimization, and capacity demands;
- Perform hands on management of cloud infrastructure and document cloud infrastructure and policies;
- Understand on premise policies, solutions, and technologies and integrate with the cloud infrastructure where applicable;
- Understanding cloud security best practices and working with Security teams to design and implement a security infrastructure;
- Serve as a technical point of contact for SRE and help with communication of SRE Principles to projects;
- An example would be to re-factor individual account AWS SNS topic subscriptions used for alerting to a centralized model in a shared account;
- Another example would be to develop a way to safely handle configuration drift in the foundational items such as the VPC and subnet configuration in an AWS account using our internally developed pipeline tooling.

✅ **We expect you to have:**
- AWS experience along with Amazon Web Services (AWS) Solutions Architect – Associate, Professional (would be a good addition) but not necessary;
- Mastery in at least two or more software languages (e.g., Python, Groovy, PowerShell etc.) with respect to designing, coding, testing, and software delivery;
- Adept in the development of automated tools (e.g., Jenkins, Ansible, etc.), systems, and services in multiple technology domains;
- Advanced knowledge of infrastructure components (e.g., networking, DNS, cloud services, orchestration tools, containerization, compute, and storage systems);
- Proficiency in service-level changes to a system and troubleshooting components;
- Experience with Splunk or other log aggregation/monitoring tools;
- Experience in engineering solutions for metrics gathering/publishing and event collection/correlation across distributed architectures, automation, monitoring, intelligent alerting, random fault injections (Chaos Engineering), and self-healing;
- Experience in a highly regulated, standards compliant, production environment (SOC, ISO, etc.);
- Scripting/automation experience.
