We achieve this by maintaining every aspect of our Programs infrastructure and technology ecosystem to the highest standards, ensuring compliance with rigorous security requirements. Within Mastercard, SRE focuses on the reliability and performance of core infrastructure, networks, and foundational services that power our applications. Our mission is to ensure these components operate with excellence, enabling applications to deliver an outstanding customer experience. In this role, you will join our Payments Network SRE team and take ownership of continuously assessing and elevating the end to end service quality of our platform. You will leverage data to drive root cause analysis and deliver strategic insights to key stakeholders on resource utilization, capacity forecasting, and performance trends-ensuring the availability, scalability, and resilience of our network. Key Responsibilities: Lead continuous assessments of the application infrastructure supporting critical Mastercard applications, focusing on health, performance, monitoring and alerting, and capacity analysis. Collaborate with Product and Development teams to forecast growth requirements and ensure scalability and resiliency. Champion observability as a core principle for infrastructure services by assessing environments and technologies to uncover gaps in monitoring and alerting. Design and implement strategies to close these gaps, ensuring all infrastructure telemetry is integrated into a unified, single-pane-of-glass view. Build custom dashboards to investigate and perform root cause analysis on complex issues. Lead regular incident reviews with internal support teams to ensure root causes are identified. When patterns of failure or compatibility issues between software and infrastructure emerge, develop and implement strategies to remediate or mitigate risks. Leverage automation and AI technologies to enhance proactive issue detection, enable self-healing capabilities, reducing Mean Time to Detect (MTTD) and Mean Time to Mitigate (MTTM). Develop testing and validation plans for new environment builds, disaster recovery exercises and post-maintenance activities to certify environment readiness before customer traffic is routed to it. Champion continuous learning, development, and knowledge sharing across networking and other infrastructure disciplines to strengthen multi-disciplinary SRE team capabilities. Lead training initiatives for team members and Product and Development on networking aspects of the platforms. Evaluate vendor hardware, firmware, and software upgrade roadmaps, and conduct proof-of-concept (POC) testing to identify potential risks and opportunities for improvement in upcoming releases. All about you: • 5-10 years of experience in an SRE or SRE related operations role, including 3+ years supporting e commerce, financial services, or large scale SaaS platforms. • Excellent infrastructure troubleshooting and analytical problem solving skills. • Strong hands on experience with observability and monitoring tools such as Splunk, Dynatrace, or equivalent, with a proven ability to triage and investigate complex issues. • Familiarity with network telemetry tools such as SolarWinds and NetScout. • Proficiency in packet level debugging, including capturing traffic with tools like tcpdump and analyzing packets using Wireshark. • Broad understanding of end to end infrastructure supporting payment platforms-spanning platform services, networking, databases, and storage. • Experience with automation and Infrastructure as Code tools such as Chef, Ansible, and Terraform, as well as structured data formats (JSON/YAML). • Excellent communication skills with the ability to coordinate cross functional troubleshooting efforts and lead RCA processes to closure. • Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot complex production issues, perform root cause analysis, and drive long term corrective actions. • Experience partnering with development teams to shape architecture, define SLIs/SLOs, and embed reliability into services from design through operation. • Strong understanding of monitoring and observability ecosystems, including Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/EFK, Splunk, and OpenTelemetry. • Effective incident management skills with a structured, analytical approach to problem solving. The Payments Network SRE team is responsible for the runtime availability of some of Mastercard's most critical core payment systems, which support national infrastructure and operate 24/7 year-round.

Role Description We are seeking a scrappy, high-ownership Staff Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) to join our lean, fast-moving SRE team. This is a security-focused engineering role rather than a policy or audit one. You'll write code, build automation, integrate scanners into CI/CD, ship Terraform modules the rest of the team can adopt, and drive Dependabot triage with engineering teams. Together, you'll define what "secure by default" actually looks like in our GCP environment and GitHub organization, then make it operational. What You'll Build - Cloud Security Posture Management - Assess and harden Stord's GCP footprint (GKE, IAM, Cloud Armor), and codify the baseline in Terraform and policy-as-code where it makes sense. - Build continuous posture monitoring against that baseline, with a published gap list and remediation schedule. - Drive the evaluation, integration, and rollout of new security tooling as the program matures. - Vulnerability and Dependency Management - Establish and automate the vulnerability and dependency remediation workflow across engineering teams. - Own Dependabot configuration and triage workflows across our GitHub organization. - Build supply-chain controls into CI/CD. - Wire container image scanning and DAST/network scanning programs into the same workflow. - Security Solutions Engineering - Build security capabilities that the broader SRE team can run as part of their normal operating model. - Ship documentation, runbooks, and self-service tooling that make your designs portable to the rest of the team. - Set the engineering bar for security work inside SRE. - Partner cross-functionally with engineering teams on app security questions. Qualifications - Deep GCP and GKE security experience. - Dependabot and secret scanning at scale. - CI/CD supply chain hardening. - Cloud security posture management in practice. - Infrastructure-as-code and automation fluency. - Systems-level technical fluency. - Track record of designing for operability.
