• GitHub Actions
• Azure DevOps
• Improve deployment automation, reliability, and release processes across all teams.

 
Observability, Monitoring & Proactive Operations

• Implement and enhance monitoring, alerting, dashboards, and analytics using:
• Dynatrace (APM, RUM, synthetic monitoring, logs, metrics)
• Splunk (log search, correlation, alerting)
• Build proactive monitoring workflows to detect issues before they impact customers.
• Own SRE metrics such as SLOs, SLIs, Error Budgets, MTTR, MTBF, availability KPIs, and system productivity metrics.
• Performance tuning of the database / application services.

 
Security & Compliance

• Ensure all platform and application security vulnerabilities are identified and remediated on time.
• Partner with cybersecurity to ensure compliance with enterprise standards and policies.
• Automate security scans and integrate them into CI/CD pipelines.

 
Performance & Scalability

• Conduct performance analysis, load testing, and tuning across:
• Microservices
• SQL Server databases
• Kafka clusters
• Front end React.js applications
• Partner with engineering teams to design scalable, reliable system architectures.

 
Collaboration & Leadership

• Collaborate with development, architecture, infrastructure, and security teams.
• Advocate for SRE and DevOps culture—automation, reliability engineering, blameless postmortems.
• Mentor developers and engineers on reliability best practices and tools.

 
Required Qualifications:

• 5+ years of experience in SRE, DevOps, or Platform Engineering roles.

 
Strong expertise in:

• SQL Server administration and performance tuning
• .NET, Java, Microservices architectures
• React.js fundamentals

 
Hands on experience with:

• Azure Cloud services (VMs, AKS, App Services, Networking)
• On prem servers and hybrid integrations
• Terraform (writing, testing, maintaining modules)
• CI/CD with GitHub and Azure DevOps

 
Proficiency with observability tools:

• Dynatrace (preferred)
• Splunk
• Experience with Kafka (producers, consumers, performance, tuning).

 
Strong understanding of SRE fundamentals:

• SLO/SLI design
• Error budgets
• Distributed systems concepts
• Incident response

 
Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with containerization and Kubernetes (AKS or on prem K8s).
• Experience with service mesh, API gateway technologies, or event driven architectures.
• Knowledge of secure coding practices and integrating security in CI/CD.
• Familiarity with enterprise networking, firewalls, and hybrid connectivity.

 
Soft Skill

• Strong communication and collaboration abilities.
