SRE Architect

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-

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
