Summary

A Tools &

- Platforms Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) ensures the reliability, availability, performance, and continuous improvement of the infrastructure engineering tooling estate — spanning observability platforms, infrastructure-as-code tooling, CI/CD pipelines, ITSM platforms, internal developer portals, secret management, and AI-augmented operations tooling. The role applies a software engineering discipline to platform operations — building automated remediation, establishing SLIs and SLOs for tooling platforms, reducing toil through systematic automation, and owning reliability outcomes end to end across the four tooling pillars.

At Level 7 / 8, this individual operates at the intersection of platform engineering, SRE practice, and AI operations — not just keeping platforms running but continuously raising their reliability ceiling. A distinctive aspect of this role is ownership of LLMOps reliability — ensuring AI-augmented operations tooling (runbook automation pipelines, agentic ITSM workflows, RAG knowledge bases, and AI alert correlation services) meets production-grade SLOs in a regulated financial services environment.

Roles &
- Responsibilities:

–
- Own reliability of observability platforms —Splunk— defining and maintaining SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets for metrics pipelines, alerting systems, and dashboard availability across all infrastructure tiers

–
- Engineer auto-remediation for common observability failures — scraper restarts, index rollover failures, ingest pipeline blockages — reducing MTTR and eliminating repetitive manual toil

–
- Implement and govern OpenTelemetry instrumentation standards across the infrastructure estate — ensuring telemetry coverage is comprehensive, consistent, and production-grade

–
- Drive observability-as-code adoption — dashboards, alert rules, SLO definitions,



and recording rules version-controlled and deployed through GitOps pipelines with automated testing

–
- Perform capacity planning and performance analysis for observability platforms — managing cardinality growth, storage retention, query performance, and ingest throughput at scale

–
- Lead blameless post-mortems for observability platform failures — producing structured RCA with systemic preventive actions that address root causes rather than symptoms

AI-Augmented Operations SRE

–

- Own reliability of LLMOps pipelines — monitoring model API health (OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini), prompt execution success rates, token consumption, latency SLOs, and cost anomaly alerting for AI-augmented operations tooling

–
- Engineer reliability for agentic ITSM workflows —
- LangChain, LlamaIndex, CrewAI — including agent execution health, tool call success rates, human-in-the-loop handoff reliability, and automated failure recovery

–
- Build observability for RAG knowledge base platforms — vector database (Pinecone, Weaviate, ChromaDB) availability, retrieval latency SLOs, embedding pipeline health, and index freshness monitoring

–
- Implement AI alert correlation reliability — ensuring LLM-based alert grouping pipelines maintain accuracy and availability SLOs, with fallback to rule-based alerting during AI platform degradation

–
- Define and enforce LLMOps governance frameworks — prompt version control, model evaluation pipelines, output quality monitoring, and FSI compliance controls (audit logging, data residency) for AI operations tooling

–
- Lead blameless post-mortems for AI tooling failures — diagnosing model degradation, hallucination events, pipeline failures, and agent workflow breakdowns with preventive actions that meet FSI audit standards

ITIL Foundation or Practitioner Must-Have Technical Skills
- Observability SRE: Splunk—
- SLI/SLO/error budget engineering, OpenTelemetry, ELK/Splunk pipeline reliability, and observability-as-code practices
- IaC Reliability: Terraform — state backend health, drift detection automation, module registry SRE, and policy-as-code pipeline reliability across AWS and GCP
- CI/CD SRE: GitHub Actions, ArgoCD — pipeline health monitoring, runner auto-scaling, deployment success rate SLOs, and automated rollback engineering




- Vault Reliability: HA cluster monitoring, seal/unseal automation, certificate lifecycle management, and lease renewal automation for secrets infrastructure
- LLMOps Reliability: Model API health monitoring (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini), prompt execution SLOs, token/cost anomaly alerting, and AI pipeline auto-remediation
- RAG Platform SRE: Vector database availability (Pinecone, Weaviate, ChromaDB), retrieval latency SLOs, embedding pipeline health, and index freshness monitoring

- Toil Reduction: Python —
- SRE automation scripting, event-driven remediation, infrastructure SDK integration (boto3, GCP client), and operational workflow engineering
- Incident Management: P1/P2 bridge leadership, blameless post-mortems, structured RCA, error budget reviews, and SLA-governed resolution in FSI environments
- Performance &

Preferred / Advantageous – Experience with chaos engineering or game day exercises for platform tooling resilience — validating failure modes in observability, CI/CD, or AI pipeline infrastructure

–

- Familiarity with eBPF-based observability (Cilium, Pixie) for deep platform telemetry and service mesh reliability engineering

–
- Exposure to model serving infrastructure —
- Triton, vLLM, or similar — for AI/ML platform reliability beyond API-based LLM tooling

–

Background in SRE or platform engineering within financial services or other highly regulated industries

Additional Information

–

- SLOs for all platform pillars — observability, IaC, CI/CD, ITSM, and AI tooling — are consistently met, with error budgets actively managed and reliability improving measurably quarter-on-quarter

–
- Toil across the tooling estate decreases consistently — manual intervention patterns are replaced by automated, observable workflows and the team's time shifts toward reliability engineering rather than repetitive operations

–
- Major platform incidents are managed with explicit ownership, rapid mobilisation, blameless RCA outputs, and systemic fixes that prevent recurrence

–
- LLMOps and AI-augmented operations tooling meets production SLOs — model API failures, agent workflow breakdowns, and RAG pipeline degradation are detected early, remediated automatically where possible, and escalated with full context when not

–
- Engineering teams across Cloud, Network, Security, Database, and Voice towers rely on platform tooling that is observable, self-healing, and consistently available — the Tools &
- Platforms SRE is the reason it stays that way
- The candidate should have minimum 5 years of experience in Splunk Enterprise Architecture and Design.
- A 15 years full time education is required.
