Lead Site Reliability Engineer

Job Summary

As a Lead Site Reliability Engineer, you will join one of our Product Areas and become part of a team-oriented team focused on operating and improving our Azure-based SaaS platform. You will work with experienced engineers and cross-functional colleagues to help ensure reliability, scalability, and operational excellence for both onboarding and running client environments.

This role is a launchpad for your development as an SRE-combining hands-on engineering, automation, monitoring, and platform support-with strong mentorship and continuous learning opportunities built in.

Responsibilities

- Work hands-on across platform and infrastructure SRE activities - cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes/container platforms, CI/CD, and production systems - not just reviewing or delegating this work, but building and operating it directly.
- Define, own, and report on SLIs, SLOs, and SLAs for critical services; manage error budgets and use them to drive concrete engineering and release decisions.
- Actively participate in cost optimization efforts across cloud and platform infrastructure, identifying and implementing efficiency and rightsizing opportunities (FinOps practices).
- Lead the design and implementation of strategies to ensure the reliability, scalability, and performance of critical systems and services.
- Manage incident response, troubleshooting, and root cause analysis for system outages and performance issues, ensuring timely resolution and prevention of future incidents.




- Develop and maintain monitoring, alerting, and automation systems to enhance service reliability and reduce manual intervention, including automation and AI-driven engineering approaches (eg AI-assisted anomaly detection, automated remediation, AI-supported incident triage) to reduce toil and speed up resolution.
- Collaborate with development, operations, and product teams to optimize application performance and system infrastructure.
- Drive initiatives for capacity planning, resource management, and scalability to meet growing business needs.
- Implement continuous improvement processes to enhance the reliability and efficiency of systems and services.

What we value

- Mentor and guide junior site reliability engineers, fostering a culture of collaboration and knowledge-sharing, while remaining personally hands-on with the underlying systems.
- Participate in on-call rotations, providing leadership during critical incidents and ensuring minimal downtime.
- Create and maintain documentation for incident management, system configurations, and operational processes.
- Drive the adoption of industry best practices, tools, and technologies - including automation and AI-driven engineering tooling - to enhance system reliability and operational performance.
