The role 

As a Senior Site Reliability Engineer, I help modernize and scale production platforms, most recently a customer-data caching platform that serves 20–25+ consuming applications at about 3,000 requests per second. I work across SRE, DevOps, engineering and architecture to improve resiliency, automation, observability, deployment practices and overall platform reliability. I work independently, set technical direction and do well in small engineering teams. 

Your day-to-day: 

• Design, build and operate highly available, fault-tolerant distributed systems and caching platforms.  

• Evaluate the existing architecture and identify opportunities to scale the platform toward 6x current traffic while maintaining performance and resiliency.  

• Improve caching strategies, including TTLs, refresh patterns, cache placement, performance and downstream dependency management.  

• Help evolve the platform toward active-active resiliency and validate failure, recovery and capacity scenarios.  

• Design and implement automated CI/CD pipelines, including rolling, blue/green or canary deployment strategies, automated checks and quality gates.  

• Establish infrastructure, configuration, secrets and application deployment practices using an everything-as-code approach.  

• Build performance and load-testing capabilities and establish meaningful performance gates for releases.  

• Develop monitoring, alerting and observability for cache latency, throughput, availability, errors and other key reliability indicators.  

• Define and improve SLIs, SLOs, error budgets and operational KPIs where appropriate.  

• Automate operational tasks and reduce manual intervention through scripting, tooling and infrastructure automation.  

• Troubleshoot production issues, perform root-cause analysis and drive reliability improvements through blameless post-incident reviews.  </
