Solutioning & Presales Leadership:

- Partner with sales and account teams to develop winning SRE, observability, platform engineering, and cloud transformation solutions
- Lead customer workshops, discovery sessions, assessments, and executive-level discussions
- Own solution architecture, effort estimation, commercials, response to RFPs/RFIs, and technical proposals
- Present solution strategies, transformation roadmaps, business cases, and value realization models to customer stakeholders
- Support deal pursuits through Proof of Concepts, demonstrations, solution reviews, and technical due diligence

Engineering & Delivery Leadership:

- Lead large-scale SRE and platform engineering programs across cloud-native and distributed environments
- Design highly resilient, scalable, self-healing systems leveraging Kubernetes, containers, cloud services, observability platforms, and modern DevOps toolchains
- Drive implementation of reliability metrics including SLIs, SLOs, Error Budgets, MTTR reduction, and operational excellence initiatives
- Govern delivery quality, transformation outcomes, stakeholder management, and customer success
- Drive automation across provisioning, deployment, incident response, monitoring, and operational workflows

Customer Consulting:





- Advise customers on SRE maturity assessments, operating model transformation, cloud adoption, observability strategy, and reliability roadmaps
- Articulate business outcomes around availability, performance, productivity, operational efficiency, and cost optimization
- Act as a trusted advisor to engineering leadership, architecture teams, and executive stakeholders

People & Capability Development:

- Build and mentor high-performing SRE and platform engineering teams
- Define capability roadmaps, learning paths, certifications, and engineering standards
- Foster a culture of reliability, automation, innovation, and continuous improvement

Role Competencies:

- 15+ years of experience across SRE, Platform Engineering, DevOps, Cloud Engineering, or Infrastructure Transformation
- Strong experience working within global engineering services, digital engineering, or system integration organizations
- Proven experience leading client-facing solutioning, architecture discussions, consulting engagements, and presales pursuits
- Demonstrated ownership of large transformation programs from proposal stage through delivery execution
- Strong expertise in AWS, Azure, and/or GCP environments
- Deep understanding of SRE principles including SLIs, SLOs, Error Budgets, Incident Management, Observability, and Reliability Engineering
- Experience designing cloud-native platforms using Kubernetes, containers, IaC, CI/CD, and automation frameworks

Preferred Skills

- Terraform, Ansible, GitOps, CI/CD toolchains
