In this high-impact role, you will help define and scale reliability standards for mission-critical SaaS platforms used by global enterprise customers. You will work at the intersection of engineering, infrastructure, and operations, ensuring systems remain highly available, performant, and resilient at scale. The role goes beyond traditional operations, focusing on building automated, self-healing systems and reliability platforms. You will lead incident response for critical outages while driving long-term architectural improvements. Acting as a technical force multiplier, you will influence engineering practices across teams and mentor engineers on SRE excellence. This is a highly collaborative environment where reliability, observability, and automation are core engineering principles. You will play a central role in enabling 99.99% uptime objectives in a fast-scaling global organization.

• Lead the design and implementation of reliability frameworks and self-service platforms that enable engineering teams to own the stability of their services, including “You Build It, You Run It” models.
• Act as Incident Commander during high-severity incidents, coordinating cross-functional response efforts, ensuring rapid resolution, and driving effective blameless postmortems.
• Architect and enhance observability solutions using modern tooling such as Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry to improve detection and performance insights.
• Drive automation and AIOps initiatives to enable proactive detection, diagnostics, and remediation of system failures.
• Establish reliability engineering best practices across teams through production readiness reviews, design collaboration, and operational standards.
• Mentor engineers across SRE and product teams, strengthening technical capabilities and promoting a culture of operational excellence.
• Continuously improve system scalability, resilience, and performance across distributed cloud environments.
