• Automate infrastructure and operations using tools such as Terraform, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, and configuration management (e.g., Ansible) to eliminate toil, enable scalable and fault-tolerant deployments, and sustainably scale systems.
• Build and maintain monitoring and alerting systems using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, AppDynamics, Splunk, and custom dashboards to support real-time alerting, latency measurement, root cause analysis, and continuous health checks of applications and infrastructure.
• Lead incident management by participating in on-call rotations, conducting postmortems, and implementing automated recovery mechanisms to minimize downtime.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with product, infrastructure, DevOps, and operations teams to reduce incidents, build resilient services, and ensure architectural clarity.
• Develop platform tooling and pipelines for container orchestration, third-party integrations, and cloud-native operations to improve system efficiency and reliability.
• Mentor engineers and champion SRE best practices, embedding a reliability-first culture and ensuring technical excellence across engineering teams.
• Leverage KPIs and monitoring feedback to understand service performance, identify corrective actions, and contribute to the achievement of related teams' objectives.
• Understand the organization's technical ecosystem to recognize systemic interrelationships and perform gap identification, pushing for changes that improve reliability and velocity.
