This role requires a hands-on, proactive approach to problem-solving, continuous learning, and staying ahead of network technologies. The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced environment, takes ownership of high-impact projects, and contributes to a culture of operational excellence. You will also serve as a senior escalation point for complex network issues, providing guidance and mentorship to other SREs.

Requirements

• Champion and implement SRE best practices to ensure reliable, secure, and high-performing network infrastructure.
• Design, configure, and maintain redundant and fault-tolerant networks including firewalls, load balancers, DNS, routing tables, and SDWAN systems.
• Develop and maintain network diagrams, monitoring systems, and alerting frameworks to prevent client-impacting issues.
• Identify and remediate network issues using diagnostic tools, traces, and root cause analysis; coordinate with vendors for defect resolution.
• Automate operational processes and runbooks to minimize manual intervention and improve system reliability.
• Collaborate with IT and software engineering teams to integrate SaaS product networks into broader enterprise infrastructure.
• Participate in on-call duties, lead incident triage, and drive post-incident reviews and continuous improvement initiatives.
