TL;DR · Lead SRE

As the Lead SRE, you will join the delivery team to ensure security applications are released with rigorous SDLC discipline and measurable reliability. You will partner with Product Owners and engineering leadership to integrate SRE requirements into design phases, manage quality gates, and define clear SLOs, SLIs, and error budgets for production readiness. Your daily work involves governing operational readiness, conducting root-cause analysis, managing capacity planning, and overseeing incident response for large-scale distributed systems. You will utilize tools such as Splunk, AppDynamics, CloudFormation, and Terraform while working within AWS or equivalent public cloud environments to automate infrastructure and eliminate toil. The role focuses on solving reliability and performance challenges in security-focused applications by enforcing automated testing, monitoring dashboards, and CI/CD pipeline controls to ensure all products meet high availability standards and robust security requirements.

What you'll do

  • Define and enforce quality gates across the entire SDLC to ensure security, reliability, and performance requirements are met.
  • Establish and manage SLOs, SLIs, and error budgets integrated into product roadmaps and delivery plans.
  • Lead operational readiness reviews and perform root-cause analysis to remediate production risks.
  • Maintain logging, alerting, and monitoring platforms while governing CI/CD pipeline controls for security and reliability.
  • Manage critical incident response and lead post-incident reviews to drive resilience improvements.
  • Oversee capacity planning and infrastructure automation using tools like CloudFormation or Terraform on public cloud platforms.
  • Coach engineering teams to adopt DevOps and SRE principles to eliminate toil and improve system stability.

What we're looking for

  • Formal training or certification with 5+ years supporting critical security-focused applications in large-scale environments and managing/mentoring teams.
  • Experience implementing and managing SLOs, SLIs, error budgets, and operational readiness reviews for distributed systems.
  • Deep expertise in public cloud platforms (AWS or equivalent) and infrastructure automation tools like CloudFormation and Terraform.
  • Proficiency with monitoring and logging tools such as Splunk and AppDynamics.
  • Strong knowledge of SDLC, secure development, and DevOps/CI/CD tooling.
  • Ability to lead incident response and perform root-cause analysis for continuous improvement.
  • Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills while remaining effective under pressure.
  • Splunk Administrator certification (preferred).
