Senior Site Reliability Engineer

About the Company / Team

The OCI Compute team operates cloud services and components with a focus on reliability, scalability, performance and operational efficiency. Site Reliability Engineers work with development and infrastructure teams to improve production safety, strengthen service ownership and respond to customer-impacting incidents.

Key Responsibilities

• Improve the reliability, scalability, performance, and operational efficiency of assigned OCI Compute services and components.
• Investigate and resolve complex production incidents; contribute to mitigation, recovery, RCA, and follow-up actions. Contribute to incident-management practices, operational readiness, and service ownership improvements.
• Own and improve service-level KPIs, SLOs, dashboards, alerting, deployment validation, and operational procedures for assigned systems.
• Build automation and tooling to reduce operational toil and improve production safety.
• Partner with development and infrastructure teams on service architecture, deployment, configuration, and reliability improvements. Share technical knowledge and support team members through documentation, reviews, and collaboration.
• Use observability, telemetry, event correlation, and AIOps capabilities to improve detection, diagnosis, and incident response. Troubleshoot distributed-system issues by analyzing service topology, dependencies, configuration, and failure modes.
• Support upgrades, migrations, patching, capacity planning, performance tuning, security vulnerability management and production rollouts.
• Participate in a 12x7 on-call rotation and support response to customer-impacting incidents.
