Key responsibilities & impact

The Senior Cloud Operations Reliability Engineer is responsible for driving operational excellence and strengthening the reliability posture of cloud-based services and supported platforms.
This role owns critical reliability initiatives, establishes observability and service health practices, and leads incident response coordination to improve service availability, resiliency, and recovery.
Own service reliability and operational health—establish and maintain SLOs/SLIs, design monitoring and alerting strategies, and drive improvements that enhance service availability and performance across cloud platforms.
Lead incident response coordination and post-incident processes, including troubleshooting complex production issues, conducting root cause analysis, and driving remediation activities with accountability for timeline and resolution quality.
Design and implement reliability-focused automation, operational tooling, and runbooks to reduce manual toil, improve response consistency, and strengthen production readiness and resilience; apply Infrastructure as Code practices where appropriate to support recovery, reliability, and operational consistency.
Build observability solutions through comprehensive monitoring, logging, and alerting strategies; establish event correlation and escalation procedures to ensure rapid problem detection and response.
Conduct performance and capacity analysis, evaluate utilization trends, identify bottlenecks; provide recommendations for reliability-focused scaling, performance improvement, capacity planning, and operational readiness of cloud-based services.
Partner with development and engineering teams to evaluate deployment readiness, support deployment reliability improvements, and implement operational best practices that strengthen service reliability, rollback readiness, and production supportability.
Contribute to disaster recovery and business continuity planning, conduct operational readiness exercises, and ensure recovery procedures and documentation reflect current production state and evolving business requirements.
Mentor team members and establish reliability standards and practices within Cloud Operations and supported service areas; create and maintain operational documentation, standard operating procedures, and knowledge base materials.
Support operational adherence to cloud governance, compliance, and security initiatives; including access control, tagging, logging, and audit readiness, and reliability-related documentation.
Perform other duties that support the overall objective of the position.
