We are looking for a Senior Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) with strong architectural experience to join JMET SRE Team. This individual will play a key role in designing and scaling reliable, secure, and high-performance infrastructure across our cloud and hybrid environments. You will be responsible for establishing reliability patterns, driving large-scale systems design, and building automation frameworks to support production systems at scale. This is a hands-on leadership role with architectural ownership, strategic influence, and deep technical impact across multiple domains, including application and infrastructure security, incident response engineering, and resilience automation.
Architect Scalable Infrastructure: Design, evolve, and review highly reliable, performant, and cost-efficient cloud-native and hybrid infrastructure using IaC, containers, and micro services principles. Support Cryptographic Systems at Scale Design and operationalize scalable, secure integrations with Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) for sensitive workloads, key management, and cryptographic operations. Drive SRE Best Practices: Define and implement service-level indicators (SLIs), objectives (SLOs), and agreements (SLAs) to guide engineering teams towards reliability and observability goals. Incident Architecture & Prevention: Serve as a technical lead during major incidents. Partner with security and platform teams to conduct deep post-incident reviews, drive systemic improvements, and establish preventive architectural controls. Sytem Design & Tooling: Build and maintain reusable tooling, automation frameworks, and reliability platforms (observability, alerting, chaos testing, auto-scaling, failover). Reliability as Code: Champion resilience engineering via automation pipelines, CI/CD integrations, canary releases, and chaos engineering principles. Multi-Cloud and Hybrid Systems: Design, assess, and guide architecture decisions across AWS, GCP, AliCloud, and on-premises infrastructure. Ensure consistency, interoperability, and regulatory compliance. Security & Compliance: Ensure architectural patterns are aligned with security standards, compliance requirements, and audit readiness.

- Experience with distributed systems, networking, and systems design at scale.
- Proficiency in at least one programming or scripting language (Python, Go, Bash, or similar).
- Experience designing observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, OpenTelemetry, ELK, etc.).
- Solid background in CI/CD tools and modern deployment strategies (ArgoCD, Spinnaker, GitOps).
- Familiarity with security best practices in cloud and containerized environments.
- Familiarity with HSMs and crypto operations at scale will be a plus.
- Hands on experience with monitoring and logging tools (e.g., Prometheus, Splunk, Grafana, CloudWatch)
- Proficient in Linux, Networking concepts (TLS/SSL, DNS, Load Balancers, etc..) and troubleshooting skills in large scale environments
- Source control management such as Git / Understanding of CI/CD, Release Engineering and DevOps
- Understanding of security standards, policies, and cryptography
- Experience with Incident / Problem management and RCA
- Strong Network, Load Balancing (Nginx, Envoy, NetScaler) experience is a huge plus
- Experience in webMethods development and administration
- Good solid understanding using Kubernetes concepts such as networking, Storage, Secrets, Deployments, Containers. AWS or GCP are preferred.
- Knowledge or experience in Governance and Compliance.
- Understanding of SRE principles, including observability, error budgeting, service reliability measurements through SLA & SLO & SLI, corresponding telemetry standards and practices, and product feedback.
- Strong analytical skills
