  • Cross-Team Collaboration: Partner with developers, QA, and tech teams throughout the SDLC to ensure performance and reliability goals are met.
  • Capacity & Performance: Contribute to system load testing, performance tuning, and capacity planning, especially within a .NET/React microservices architecture.
  • Documentation & Knowledge Sharing: Maintain system documentation, runbooks, FAQs, and mentor peers in SRE practices.
  • Integration Support: Troubleshoot API integrations, SSO setups, and secure file transfer protocols.
  • Continuous Improvement: Contribute ideas and solutions to improve automation, cost efficiency, security posture, and reliability processes.

What you need to be successful in this role:

  • Strong hands-on experience with Azure cloud services, including IaaS and PaaS (networking, compute, storage, databases, messaging, security).
  • Deep knowledge of Azure observability tools and KQL for metrics/log analysis.
  • Proficient in scripting languages such as PowerShell, Bash, or Python.
  • Experience with CI/CD practices and tools (preferably Azure DevOps).
  • Solid understanding of Git workflows and platforms (e.g., Azure Repos, GitHub).
  • Strong foundation in networking concepts (DNS, TLS, firewalls, etc.).
  • Skilled in diagnosing complex, distributed system issues.
  • Strong communicator with collaborative mindset; effective independently or in a team.
  • Familiarity with Agile methodologies and Scrum practices
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or related field—or equivalent hands-on experience.
  • 2–5 years of experience in Site Reliability Engineering, DevOps, Systems Administration, or a related field with operational focus.
  • Prior experience supporting production systems in Azure is strongly preferred.
  • Proven ability to implement observability practices and contribute to on-call operations.
  • Track record of successful automation and operational improvement.
  • Background in financial services or other regulated industries is a plus.
