• Build, configure, and maintain monitoring, alerting, and dashboarding solutions using AWS CloudWatch, X-Ray, and third-party tools such as DataDome.
• Leverage advanced AWS observability tools (e.g., CloudWatch Synthetics, Contributor Insights) to proactively monitor system health.
• Contribute to the development and implementation of a structured on-call support process.
• Implement, monitor, and maintain site protection and bot mitigation solutions to defend against automated attacks and ensure application availability.
• Investigate incidents, security events, and operational anomalies, perform root cause analysis, and lead postmortem processes.
• Identify operational inefficiencies (“toil”) and automate workflows using AWS Lambda and CloudFormation.
• Assist in maintaining and enhancing CI/CD pipelines and deployment processes.
• Collaborate with development, QA, cloud, and DevOps teams to ensure reliability, scalability, and security are embedded into system designs.
• Document systems, processes, incident findings, compliance activities, and reliability best practices.
• Stay current with AWS, SRE, and observability trends and recommend improvements.
• Evaluate and support the rollout of new AWS services and features.
• Perform other related duties as assigned.
KNOWLEDGE & SKILLS
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving abilities.
• Hands-on experience with AWS CloudWatch (metrics, logs, dashboards, alarms).
• Familiarity with AWS X-Ray for distributed tracing.
• Experience with CloudWatch Synthetics and Contributor Insights for proactive testing and analysis.
• Knowledge of AWS CloudTrail for auditing and investigations.
• Experience using AWS Athena for log analysis.
• Proficiency with AWS CloudFormation.
• Experience automating workflows with AWS Lambda or similar tools.
• Understanding of AWS services such as API Gateway, CloudFront, and Elastic Load Balancer (ELB).
• Experience with site protection or bot mitigation tools (e.g., DataDome, Cloudflare).
• Scripting or programming experience in Python, Bash, or Node.js.
• Excellent communication and documentation skills.
• Growth-oriented and eager to adopt emerging tools and practices.
REQUIREMENTS
• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• 3+ years of experience in cloud engineering, DevOps, infrastructure, or observability (AWS required).
• Experience applying SRE principles (prior SRE experience preferred).
