[Hiring] Senior Site Reliability Engineer @Our client

Role Description

Our client is seeking a Senior Site Reliability Engineer to help define, lead, and continuously improve operational best practices using modern Site Reliability Engineering principles, with a strong emphasis on AWS-based cloud infrastructure. This role partners closely with engineering, production support, and technology leadership to design, implement, and operate highly reliable, secure, scalable, and cost-effective systems supporting a complex application ecosystem and software delivery lifecycle. The Senior SRE will influence cloud architecture decisions, lead complex infrastructure initiatives, and drive long-term improvements in reliability, observability, automation, and cost efficiency. This is a senior individual contributor role with broad technical ownership and organizational influence.

• Contribute to the design, evolution, and operational health of a large-scale AWS environment, including architecture standards and best practices
• Design, implement, and optimize AWS-based infrastructure using services such as EC2, ECS/EKS, Lambda, RDS, S3, IAM, VPC, and CloudWatch
• Build and manage cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform, CloudFormation, or equivalent
• Lead new platform implementations and major reliability initiatives as a subject-matter expert in AWS and SRE practices
• Monitor, analyze, and optimize cloud spend, balancing performance, reliability, and cost efficiency
• Apply and mature SRE principles to improve system availability, scalability, performance, security, and observability
• Design and implement automation to reduce operational toil and improve system efficiency
• Provide advanced operational support for cloud-hosted and hybrid platforms
• Define and improve monitoring, alerting, logging, and incident response practices
• Lead complex production incidents, perform root cause analysis, and drive corrective and preventive actions
• Mentor junior and mid-level engineers through technical guidance and best-practice leadership, without direct people management
• Collaborate with engineering, QA, security, and business teams to embed reliability throughout the software delivery lifecycle
• Ensure systems and data handling meet applicable legal, regulatory, and security requirements
• Improve production engineering processes including change and configuration management, observability, incident response, disaster recovery, capacity planning, performance tuning, and deployment automation
• Participate in a sustainable on-call rotation and help reduce alert fatigue over time
• Act as a change agent for long-term technical strategy, identifying risks, dependencies, and improvement opportunities

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
• 7+ years of experience delivering technical solutions in production environments
• Three or more years of hands-on Site Reliability Engineering experience
• Extensive experience designing, operating, and scaling production AWS environments
• Strong expertise with Infrastructure as Code and modern cloud deployment patterns
• Proven ability to diagnose and resolve complex issues in distributed systems
• Experience leading incidents and driving post-incident improvements
• Ability to work independently, prioritize effectively, and manage multiple initiatives
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Preferred Qualifications

• AWS certifications such as Solutions Architect, DevOps Engineer, or SysOps Administrator
• Experience working in regulated industries such as healthcare, financial services, or similar environments
• Familiarity with modern application stacks and supporting tools including CI/CD pipelines, version control systems, observability platforms, containerization, orchestration technologies, and identity and access management solutions
• Experience working in Agile or Scrum-based delivery environments

What Success Looks Like

• Production systems are stable, observable, and resilient
• Incidents are handled effectively and result in measurable reliability improvements
• Infrastructure scales predictably while remaining cost-conscious
• Engineering teams are supported by clear standards, automation, and reliability tooling
• Reliability is embedded into the delivery process rather than treated as an afterthought
