Job description
Summary
System Automation Corporation develops SaaS solutions for state and local regulatory agencies. The company is seeking a mid-level Site Reliability Engineer to build and operate critical Microsoft Azure cloud infrastructure, establish observability standards, automate operational processes, maintain CI/CD pipelines, and improve platform reliability through incident response and postmortems.
Responsibilities
- Build, operate, and scale production systems in Microsoft Azure (App Service, Networking, WAF, CosmosDB and related infrastructure) to meet availability and performance targets
- Participate in an on-call rotation; triage, respond to, and resolve production incidents, and lead or contribute to blameless postmortems
- Define and track SLOs/SLIs and error budgets in partnership with engineering and product teams
- Design and maintain observability and APM tooling (metrics, logs, tracing, dashboards, alerting) so issues are caught before they impact customers
- Continuously refine alert thresholds and runbooks to reduce noise and mean time to resolution
- Reduce operational toil through automation — scripting, self-healing systems, and repeatable processes
- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines that let the development team ship safely and frequently
- Provision and manage infrastructure as code (Bicep) and follow standard change control and version control practices
- Ensure application infrastructure meets security and compliance requirements (e.g., SOC 2, GovRAMP) in partnership with the compliance team
- Apply security best practices to infrastructure design and change management
- Partner with the agile development team to translate business requirements into reliable technical solutions
- Participate in technical design sessions and produce clear documentation (diagrams, runbooks, architecture notes)
- Stay current on new Azure capabilities, industry standards, and SRE best practices, and bring recommendations back to the team
- Other duties as assigned
