About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own IAM platform reliability end‑to‑end: define SLOs/SLIs, error budgets, capacity plans, and resiliency roadmaps for core services (e.g., access administration, identity lifecycle, authentication, federation, PAM, directories)
Lead a 24×7 follow‑the‑sun operation: build and mature global on‑call rotations, incident response, and Major Incident Management (MIM) practices with clear RACI and runbooks
Engineer for resiliency: champion chaos testing, failure mode analysis, multi‑region/high‑availability patterns, DR/BCP validation, and automated health checks
Automate everything: drive “operations as code,” CI/CD for platform changes, immutable infrastructure, policy‑as‑code, automated compliance checks, and self‑service tooling for developers and operators
Manage risk & compliance: ensure controls alignment (e.g., SOX, FFIEC, GLBA, PCI where applicable), identity governance, separation of duties, and auditable change management
Elevate observability: standardize logging, metrics, tracing, and actionable alerting; implement service catalogs, golden signals, and error‑budget policies
Optimize cost & performance: track usage, right‑size capacity, and tune platform configurations while maintaining security and reliability objectives
Lead people & culture: attract, develop, and retain diverse SRE talent; set objectives, coach managers/ICs, and foster a blameless post‑incident culture with continuous learning
Partner & influence: work with product owners, security architects, enterprise architecture, and risk partners to align roadmaps and deliver high‑impact outcomes
Stakeholder communication: deliver clear status, metrics, and executive‑ready updates on risk, reliability, and remediation programs
