SRE Architect at Cortex consultants LLC

Job Title: Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) Architect Location: Atlanta Georgia As an SRE Architect you will be a pivotal technical leader responsible for designing building and evolving the foundational systems and practices that ensure the reliability scalability performance and efficiency of our critical services. Moving beyond day-to-day operations you will focus on the strategic architectural direction of SRE function defining standards blueprints and frameworks that enable development teams and fellow SRE operations team to build and operate highly resilient systems. Leverage deep expertise in software engineering distributed systems cloud infrastructure and SRE principles to influence technology choices establish best practices and foster a proactive culture of reliability across the organization and much beyond the observability pillar. Key Responsibilities: 1. Reliability Strategy & Design: o Architect and design highly available scalable secure and cost- effective infrastructure and application patterns on AWS o Define and evangelize SRE best practices standards and blueprints for service design deployment monitoring and operational readiness across the engineering organization o Review current observability implementation to identify gaps and define steps to reach next level maturity of observability setup to provide deep insights into system health and behaviour o With overall maturity lead the definition and implementation strategy for Service Level Indicators (SLIs) Service Level Objectives (SLOs) and Error Budgets for critical services 2. Platform Architecture & Automation: o Design solutions to systematically reduce operational toil through automation and improved system design o Evaluate current SRE tools and automation frameworks (e.g. CI/CD pipelines Infrastructure as Code modules automated incident remediation chaos engineering platforms) and suggest enhancement that will help overall enhancement of capability o Evaluate prototype and recommend new technologies tools and methodologies to enhance system reliability developer productivity and operational efficiency 3. Technical Leadership & Consultation: o Act as a senior technical advisor and subject matter expert on reliability scalability and performance for development and platform teams o Provide architectural guidance during the design phase of new services and features to ensure reliability principles are embedded early (shift- left) o Mentor and coach other SREs and engineers fostering technical excellence and adherence to SRE principles o Lead architectural reviews and production readiness assessments for critical systems 4. Resilience: o Lead blameless postmortems for significant incidents ensuring root causes are identified and systemic architectural improvements are prioritized and implemented o Architect and advocate for resilience patterns (e.g. circuit breaking rate limiting graceful degradation chaos engineering) within applications and infrastructure Required Qualifications: Proven experience in an architectural role designing solutions for reliability scalability and performance Deep understanding and practical application of SRE principles (SLIs/SLOs error budgets toil reduction automation incident management postmortems) Expertise in cloud computing platforms (e.g. AWS) including infrastructure networking and security services Strong experience with containerization and orchestration technologies (Kubernetes Docker serverless computing) Solid experience designing and implementing observability solutions (e.g. Dynatrace Prometheus Grafana ELK/EFK Stack Jaeger OpenTelemetry) Strong programming/scripting skills (e.g. Python Go Bash) for automation and tool development Excellent analytical problem-solving and strategic thinking skills. Strong communication collaboration and leadership skills with the ability to influence technical direction across teams Preferred Qualifications: Experience designing and implementing chaos engineering practices and platforms Key Skills APIs,Pegasystems,Spring,SOAP,.NET,Hybris,Solution Architecture,Service-Oriented Architecture,Adobe Experience Manager,J2EE,Java,Oracle Employment Type : Full Time Experience: years Vacancy: 1
