Job Title: Site Reliability Engineering Lead

Summary

We are seeking a seasoned Site Reliability Engineering Lead to take end-to-end ownership of our retail eCommerce platform's operational excellence. You will drive SRE culture across engineering teams, champion observability, and lead a cross-functional onsite/offshore team to deliver exceptional uptime, performance, and release velocity. This role blends deep technical expertise with strategic leadership - you'll be equally comfortable reviewing Kubernetes manifests, tuning Akamai rules, and presenting SLO dashboards to senior leadership.

Required Skills:

Platform Reliability & Availability

• Define, monitor, and enforce SLIs, SLOs, and Error Budgets for all eCommerce services

• Architect resilient multi-AZ, multi-region AWS deployments for zero-downtime operations

CI/CD & Automation

• Own and evolve Jenkins-based CI/CD pipelines for microservices deployments on Kubernetes/EKS
• Implement GitOps workflows; enforce trunk-based development and deployment gates
• Automate infrastructure provisioning using CloudFormation, Terraform, and AWS CDK
• Drive shift-left reliability practices: load testing, chaos gates, and SLO checks in pipeline

Cloud Infrastructure & CDN

• Manage Akamai CDN configuration: edge rules, caching policies, TLS, WAF, and traffic shaping
• Optimize AWS Auto Scaling Groups, ALBs, and CloudFront for peak eCommerce traffic events
• Design and govern caching strategy across CDN, Redis, and Memcached layers
• Manage EKS/K8s cluster operations: node pools, Helm releases, resource quotas, and HPA/VPA

Observability & Performance

• Build and maintain Splunk APM and Splunk Cloud dashboards, alerts, and runbooks
• Implement distributed tracing (OpenTelemetry) across all microservices
• Conduct performance profiling and capacity planning aligned to traffic growth projections
• Establish DORA metrics tracking: deployment frequency, lead time, MTTR, change failure rate

Security, Compliance & Collaboration

• Partner with InfoSec on PCI-DSS compliance, vulnerability management, and secrets governance
• Enforce least-privilege IAM, network segmentation, and container security scanning in pipelines
• Lead cross-functional reviews with Dev, QA, and InfoSec for new service onboarding
• Coordinate onsite and offshore SRE teams; mentor junior engineers and foster SRE culture
