Job description

Overview

Staff Site Reliability Engineer on the Digital Interconnection (DIGIN) SRE team, a technical contributor responsible for reliability standards, complex designs and incident response for the platforms behind Fabric, Internet Access, Application Connect and MCP servers.

What you'll do

  • Define and run SLOs, SLIs and error budgets, and drive reliability improvements from the data.
  • Lead incident response for P0/P1 events, run blameless post-incident reviews, and follow up on corrective actions.
  • Design, build and operate Kubernetes platforms on AWS and on bare metal servers, including cluster lifecycle, upgrades and capacity planning.
  • Build and improve CI/CD and GitOps pipelines (GitHub Actions, Argo CD) and infrastructure as code (Terraform, Ansible).
  • Extend the observability stack (Grafana Cloud, OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Loki, Tempo) from services down to the hardware layer.
  • Automate repetitive operational work, including with AI-assisted tooling such as the SRE Bot and MCP servers.
  • Lead production readiness reviews, resilience and chaos testing, and disaster recovery exercises.
  • Partner on security and compliance practices such as secrets management (Vault), image and dependency scanning, and identity and access.
  • Support and guide developers and contribute to the team's technical direction.

What you'll need

  • 5+ years in SRE, DevOps or infrastructure engineering, with demonstrated technical leadership.
  • Deep, hands-on Kubernetes experience in production, including cluster operations, networking and troubleshooting.
  • Strong coding or scripting skills in at least one of Python, Go or Java, plus Bash.
  • Experience with infrastructure as code, CI/CD and GitOps (for example Terraform, Ansible, GitHub Actions, Argo CD).
  • Strong observability skills: metrics, logs and traces, SLO-based alerting, and dashboards.
  • Experience running 24×7 production services, including on-call and incident command.
  • Solid grounding in Linux, networking (L2/L3, load balancing, service mesh) and cloud platforms, preferably AWS.
  • Clear written and verbal communication, and comfort working across time zones.

Nice to have

  • Istio or another service mesh, Rancher, kube-vip or similar HA tooling.
  • Experience operating infrastructure across geographically distributed sites.
  • Experience with Kafka, Cassandra, Temporal, Postgres or AuroraDB.
  • Chaos engineering experience and multi-region or active-active designs.
  • Experience applying AI or LLM tooling to operations and incident triage.
