Responsibilities- Build, lead, and inspire high-performing SRE teams, fostering a culture of operational ownership, engineering excellence, and continuous learning.
- Define and execute the strategic roadmap for SRE, integrating best practices in reliability, incident management, observability, and infrastructure automation in alignment with business and product goals.
- Elevate observability across the stack by designing and enforcing standards for telemetry, structured logging, distributed tracing, and service-level dashboards. Ensure 100% coverage of business-critical systems with actionable metrics and alerting along with the engineering teams.
- Act as the technical escalation point for the most complex production issues, leading hands-on incident response and deep root cause analysis in large-scale, low-latency, event-driven architectures.
- Champion automation-first infrastructure practices, enforcing IaC, immutable deployments, and auto-remediation patterns that reduce manual intervention and accelerate delivery.
- Drive architectural and operational improvements through close partnership with Product Engineering, Platform, Security, and Architecture teams. Proactively identify and mitigate systemic reliability risks and performance bottlenecks.
- Lead the definition, adoption, and review of SLIs, SLOs, and Error Budgets, ensuring they are embedded into engineering and product decision-making processes.
- Operationalize change management, chaos engineering, and DR strategies, validating readiness through frequent simulations and failover exercises.
- Mentor and develop SRE leads and senior engineers, scaling internal capabilities and reinforcing technical depth across the organization.
- Represent SRE in architecture boards, and business reviews, aligning engineering reliability strategies with company-wide objectives.
- Promote a culture of autonomy and proactive engineering, encouraging teams to own their services end-to-end with accountability and resilience thinking.

- 10+ years of experience in SRE, DevOps, or Software Engineering roles, with at least 4+ years in leadership roles.
- Strong experience leading distributed SRE or platform teams in complex, production-scale environments.
- Deep understanding of reliability engineering principles, cloud-native infrastructure on AWS, observability, and incident response.
- Hands-on experience with infrastructure as code, CI/CD pipelines, containers, and orchestration tools.
- Strong architectural and performance optimization skills across cloud and hybrid infrastructure.
- Demonstrated ability to influence and collaborate across engineering, product, and business teams.
- Familiarity with regulatory and security frameworks relevant to infrastructure reliability.
- Excellent communication and leadership skills, with experience presenting to senior stakeholders.
