Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) Cloud Migration & Operational Excellence
As a Site Reliability Engineer (SRE), you will play a critical role in the migration of business-critical applications from on-premises infrastructure to AWS and Google Cloud Platform (Google Cloud Platform). You will work at the intersection of software engineering, cloud infrastructure, platform engineering, observability, automation, and operations to ensure migrated applications are secure, scalable, reliable, and supportable.
This role is ideal for a hands-on engineer who combines strong infrastructure and cloud expertise with software engineering practices. You will help establish reliability standards, automate operational processes, implement observability solutions, and drive operational excellence throughout the migration and modernization journey.
What You'll Do
Reliability Engineering & Cloud Operations
Design and implement reliability strategies supporting migration of enterprise applications to AWS and Google Cloud Platform.
Establish Service Level Indicators (SLIs), Service Level Objectives (SLOs), and reliability metrics for critical business services.
Partner with application, infrastructure, database, security, and cloud architecture teams to improve platform stability and operational readiness.
Develop operational runbooks, recovery procedures, and automated response mechanisms.
Observability & Monitoring
Design and implement enterprise monitoring and observability solutions.
Develop dashboards, alerts, health checks, synthetic monitoring, and operational reporting.
Utilize Dynatrace, Splunk, Moogsoft, CloudWatch, and Google Cloud Platform Operations Suite to improve visibility into application and infrastructure performance.
Create proactive alerting strategies that reduce operational risk and improve incident response.
Infrastructure Automation & Platform Engineering
Develop and maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform.
Support enterprise landing zones, cloud provisioning, configuration management, and platform automation.
Implement CI/CD and GitOps practices supporting cloud-native deployments.
Partner with cloud platform teams to standardize reusable infrastructure patterns.
Incident Response & Resiliency
Participate in production support, incident response, and root cause analysis activities.
Lead efforts to reduce recurring incidents through automation and engineering improvements.
Develop resiliency testing, failover validation, disaster recovery, and operational readiness procedures.
Drive reliability improvements through performance testing, capacity planning, and fault analysis.
AI-Assisted Operations
Leverage Copilot, Codex, and similar AI-enabled tools to accelerate automation development, observability configuration, scripting, troubleshooting, documentation, and operational analysis.
Use AI to improve incident analysis, runbook generation, alert optimization, and reliability engineering workflows.
