Senior Site Reliability Engineer

📋 Description

• • Own the reliability and performance of Vantage’s distributed retail-media platform, ensuring 99.9 %+ uptime for services that power advertising campaigns for global retailers like The Home Depot.
• • Serve as the technical anchor for a remote-first SRE squad, mentoring junior engineers while still rolling up your sleeves to debug, automate, and optimize everything from Kubernetes clusters to Snowflake data pipelines.
• • Design and maintain resilient, multi-region infrastructure on Azure (with future expansion to AWS/GCP) using Infrastructure-as-Code best practices—Terraform, Terragrunt, and Ansible—to provision, configure, and version every layer of the stack.
• • Build and evolve end-to-end observability: Prometheus metrics, Grafana dashboards, Loki/Elastic logs, and PagerDuty alerting that give engineers self-service insight into latency, error budgets, and customer impact.
• • Lead incident response during your on-call rotation, orchestrating cross-functional war rooms, writing blameless post-mortems, and driving actionable follow-ups that prevent recurrence and reduce MTTR.
• • Automate CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps) so every code change is tested, security-scanned, and deployed to production in minutes, not hours, while maintaining strict compliance and rollback safety.
• • Partner with software, data, and product teams to translate business requirements into scalable architecture—right-sizing compute, tuning JVM/Node runtimes, and optimizing data warehouse queries for sub-second ad-serving SLAs.
• • Champion SRE culture across the organization: run game-days, establish error budgets, evangelize SLIs/SLOs, and create reusable libraries that let feature teams ship faster without sacrificing reliability.
• • Continuously evaluate emerging technologies—service meshes, chaos engineering, eBPF, FinOps tooling—and run proof-of-concepts that keep Vantage at the cutting edge of retail-media infrastructure.
• • Contribute to internal documentation, runbooks, and training sessions so tribal knowledge becomes shared knowledge, enabling every engineer to operate services confidently and independently.
