Responsibilities

  • Uses enterprise-authorized AI capabilities within the work environment to accelerate incident triage, troubleshooting, and post-incident analysis, validating outputs and handling operational data according to sensitivity and security requirements.
  • Applies enterprise-authorized AI capabilities within the work environment to identify patterns in operational signals that indicate reliability risk or recurring toil, prioritizing reuse-first improvements tied to SLO outcomes.
  • Own production stability for CIB Payments services, including real-time monitoring, incident response, and restoring service quickly with clear mitigation plans.
  • Drive “shift-left” reliability by identifying issues early in the SDLC (pre-prod → prod), partnering with engineers to address reliability gaps before customer impact.
  • Build and continuously improve observability (metrics, logs, traces, dashboards, alerting), identify blind spots, and propose improvements to close monitoring/telemetry gaps.
  • Perform deep troubleshooting across the full system (application + infrastructure dependencies), using code-level understanding to accelerate triage and root cause isolation.
  • Lead and/or contribute to root cause analysis (RCA) and post-incident reviews; translate findings into durable fixes and measurable reliability outcomes.
  • Reduce toil through automation (runbooks, self-healing, standardization, operational tooling) and prioritize work tied to SLO/SLI outcomes.
  • Manage infrastructure/platform lifecycle activities that affect reliability (e.g., upgrades, migrations), ensuring safe rollout and minimal downtime.
  • Engineer resiliency patterns (e.g., failover readiness, multi-region considerations, redundancy) and validate that applications meet resiliency expectations in production.
  • Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills
  • Formal training or certification on site reliability engineering concepts and 3+ years applied experience.
  • Proficient in site reliability culture and principles and familiarity with how to implement site reliability within an application or platform
  • Proficient in at least one programming language such as Python, Java/Spring Boot, and .Net
  • Working knowledge of using enterprise-authorized AI capabilities within the work environment to support SRE workflows with strong validation habits and awareness of data sensitivity
  • Ability to validate AI-assisted operational recommendations before applying changes, escalating when uncertain and following data sensitivity requirements
  • Proficient knowledge of software applications and technical processes within a given technical discipline (e.g., Cloud, AI, Android, etc.)
  • Strong grounding in core SRE concepts (SLIs/SLOs, error budgets, incident management, on-call best practices, reliability vs. velocity tradeoffs).
  • Proven ability to troubleshoot production issues end-to-end, including reading logs/metrics/traces and interpreting system behavior across multiple components.
  • Working knowledge of infrastructure fundamentals (compute/network/storage, deployments, configuration) sufficient to diagnose and mitigate issues under time pressure.
  • Code understanding for troubleshooting (you don’t need to be the product builder, but must be able to reason about code paths, configs, and runtime behavior).
  • Experience designing/operating production monitoring and alerting and improving signal quality (reduce noise, improve actionability).
  • Preferred qualifications, capabilities, and skills
  • Hands-on experience with observability platforms and practices (instrumentation standards, telemetry strategy, service-level alerting).
  • Experience with automation/toil reduction initiatives (operational tooling, runbook automation, self-service workflows).
  • Experience supporting platform upgrades, migrations, and reliability hardening for mission-critical systems.
  • Experience implementing/validating resiliency approaches such as multi-region deployment patterns and failover testing/operational readiness.
  • Comfort working in teams where SRE partners closely with engineering but is not primarily responsible for building product features (focus is operational excellence and reliability).
