Responsibilities
Work alongside the development and operations teams to ensure speedy and reliable software deployments, monitor systems, and improve overall reliability of the platform. In addition, as you discover and document system bugs, you have the motivation to go off and fix them yourself
Develop features utilize the AI coding tool and repository of scripts to automate, scale, test, and secure the cloud infrastructure and the pipelines
Enhance performance monitoring of the various systems via Splunk or other dashboard reporting tools
Identify performance bottlenecks and optimize the performance of cloud infrastructure
Contribute to continuing our SRE journey by suggesting ways to improve engineering build, maintenance, automation and reliability across the platform with SRE/DevOps tools and Infrastructure-as-Code
Develop and code high-quality pipeline automation workflows to support inside and outside the cloud platform that are appropriate for business and technology strategies
Develop and execute test strategies that simulate real-world failure scenarios, including network disruptions, hardware failures, and system overloads
Create, script, and run performance tests to measure system behavior under varying levels of load and traffic. Identify bottlenecks, performance degradation, and areas for optimization
Design, implement, and maintain automated test suites for infrastructure and application components. Ensure that testing is integrated into the CI/CD pipeline to validate system reliability with every release
Build automated systems for continuous performance testing, stress testing, and load testing
Work closely with SREs, developers, and operations teams to define reliability goals and develop appropriate testing strategies to validate those goals
Ensure that new services and features undergo thorough testing for performance, reliability, and failure recovery before deployment to production
Validate that monitoring, logging, and alerting mechanisms are functioning correctly by testing systems under failure conditions
Ensure that Service Level Indicators (SLIs) and Service Level Objectives (SLOs) are accurately measured and tracked through automated testing frameworks
Resolve most conflicts between timeline, budget, and scope independently but intuitively raise sophisticated or consequential issues to senior management
