Senior Site Reliability Engineer (Kubernetes Platform)

Quick Facts

• Role: Senior Site Reliability Engineer (Kubernetes Platform)

• Focus: Enterprise Kubernetes reliability, automation, security guardrails, and platform lifecycle operations

Description

You will own and continuously evolve a central, secure, highly automated Kubernetes platform used across the enterprise. The role includes operating and improving the Amazon EKS platform (day-2 operations, lifecycle management, upgrades, and support) while enabling developer self-service through automated guardrails. You will also drive observability improvements and participate in incident response and continuous reliability improvement.

Responsibilities

• Operate and improve the central Amazon EKS platform (day-2 operations, lifecycle management, upgrades, and support)

• Provide a secure, self-service Kubernetes platform so development teams can deploy without managing underlying infrastructure

• Apply consistent platform standards across cluster configuration, monitoring, networking, security controls, and lifecycle management

• Support a sustainable 24x7 operational model for Kubernetes-related platform services (Kubernetes, GitHub Enterprise, Azure DevOps, JFrog, Elastic)

• Build and maintain automation, Infrastructure as Code, and reusable platform patterns to reduce manual effort and improve reliability

• Improve platform observability with monitoring, logging, alerting, and operational visibility across shared Kubernetes services

• Strengthen security and compliance using governance, guardrails, and automated controls

• Collaborate with development squads on onboarding, platform adoption, and day-to-day platform use

• Drive incident response, root-cause analysis, and continuous improvement of platform reliability and support quality

• Share knowledge, document standards, and establish accountable ownership for shared platform services

• Support the transition of platform ownership and operational responsibility to a dedicated cross-functional/SRE team

Requirements

• Extensive experience designing, operating, and troubleshooting Kubernetes in production

• Strong understanding of cloud-native architectures, distributed systems, and modern infrastructure

• Experience operating Amazon Web Services and Kubernetes platforms at scale

• Experience designing secure, resilient, and highly available production environments

• Strong understanding of Kubernetes architecture, networking, storage, security, and workload scheduling

• Experience managing platform lifecycle activities (upgrades, maintenance, operational readiness)

• Strong automation mindset with Infrastructure as Code and configuration as code

• Experience applying software engineering principles to infrastructure and operations

• Strong understanding of observability (metrics, logs, traces)

• Experience integrating security, governance, and compliance into technical solutions

Benefits

Opportunity to help build and shape a central SRE capability that owns, operates, and continuously evolves Kubernetes across the enterprise.
