• Lead the implementation of SLOs, SLIs, error budgets, and reliability KPIs across critical services.
• Build strategies for system reliability automation and proactive production hardening.

• Architect and implement enterprise-level observability platforms (metrics, logs, traces, events).
• Reduce alert fatigue by ensuring actionable alerting and fully automated runbooks.
• Drive major incident response, root cause analysis (RCA), and post-incident reviews.
• Establish incident lifecycle processes and on-call operational frameworks.

• Architect and automate CI/CD pipelines using modern DevOps toolsets.

• Build self-healing, auto-remediation, and predictive scaling solutions.

• Architect cloud-native and hybrid solutions using AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform.
• Lead cloud migration strategies, cloud security integration, and compliance automation.
• Implement cost-optimized, high-availability cloud architectures with deep understanding of distributed systems.

• Lead resilience testing programs including chaos engineering, fault injection, and DR simulation.
• Develop resilience scorecards and reliability maturity frameworks.

• Work with application, security, data, and infrastructure teams to ensure reliability is built into design.
• Mentor and guide SRE and DevOps teams on best practices, automation, and scalable architecture.
• Influence enterprise-level technical direction and participate in architecture review boards.

• 12+ years of IT experience with 6+ years in SRE/DevOps architecture.
• Strong expertise in cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform) and distributed systems.
• Deep knowledge of: Kubernetes, Docker, service mesh Observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Splunk, Datadog, New Relic)
