• Assist in designing, implementing, and maintaining scalable, fault-tolerant systems that leverage cluster orchestration and containerization technologies, with guidance from senior engineers. • Work alongside the Software Engineering and QA teams to support deployment processes for microservices-based architectures. • Help build and maintain CI/CD pipelines that support container-based application deployment and rollback. • Support system availability by running health checks and contributing to zero-downtime deployments. • Participate in a supported on-call rotation, escalating critical system issues appropriately as you build incident-response experience. • Collaborate with information security teams to follow industry best practices and compliance requirements. • Use AI-assisted tooling (e.g., LLM-powered coding assistants, chat-ops agents, scripted automations) to accelerate routine tasks such as log triage, runbook execution, ticket drafting, and code review.

• Site Reliability Engineers are responsible for helping balance development velocity against customer-centric stability of systems through the use of SRE best practices and the creation of new processes with automation. • The Senior Site Reliability Engineer is responsible for creating and leading projects around how services and other workflows should be measured as well as participating in the observability of production systems and services through day to day operational responsibilities with the intention to gain that wisdom of production to then decide what toil should be automated next. • The Senior Site Reliability Engineer is expected to operate with a DevOps mindset at the convergence point of Cloud Operations, Engineering, and Technical Support within the framework of the Agile process. • Identify improvements in both the platform and processes by implementing established SRE concepts with the goal of improving product and system reliability. • Proactively engage and collaborate with other individuals and teams as issues arise by serving as an escalation point of customer issues to ensure successful outcomes. • Perform root cause analysis for customer impacting issues and be able to clearly document the solution and advise others from the results of those findings. • Create technical documentation based upon new technology proof of concepts, project work, root cause issue analysis, identification of alerting patterns, and proactively sharing this knowledge with other teams as part of the Continuous Improvement Model. • Participate in team ceremonies to identify and refine potential work, communicate findings, and drive opportunities to collaborate. • Assign and communicate the business value and benefit hypothesis of new projects, initiatives, and strategies while being able to break down the technical work require to achieve a successful outcome. • Lead cross-team and cross-department technical collaboration in critical customer escalations. • Advise stakeholders and senior leadership on critical customer escalations. • Occasionally provide off hours support for deployments and customer escalations.
