Site Reliability Engineer Technical Lead

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Site Reliability Engineer Technical Lead based in United States. This is a fully remote, hands-on technical leadership opportunity focused on the reliability and operational excellence of mission-critical production systems. You’ll apply advanced SRE principles to improve the scalability, resilience, performance, and availability of enterprise environments. The role combines cloud infrastructure, automation, observability, incident response, and systems engineering to eliminate operational toil and strengthen reliability. You’ll design innovative solutions, build automation and internal tooling, and develop self-healing capabilities that improve engineering efficiency. The position requires deep expertise across cloud platforms, microservices, Kubernetes, monitoring, logging, and distributed systems. You’ll also influence technical direction and collaborate with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, including senior leadership. It’s an ideal environment for an experienced SRE professional who wants significant technical ownership and the opportunity to shape reliable, scalable systems. Drive the operational excellence, reliability, scalability, and performance of critical production systems. Apply Site Reliability Engineering principles to enterprise-level systems and continuously identify opportunities to improve resilience and availability. Lead technical aspects of incident response, troubleshooting complex production issues and developing sustainable solutions to prevent recurrence. Design and implement automation that eliminates repetitive manual work, reduces operational toil, and improves engineering efficiency. Develop and maintain internal tools and automated workflows that support scalable, reliable, and self-healing infrastructure. Work across cloud environments such as AWS, GCP, and Azure, as well as microservices and containerized platforms including Kubernetes. Build, maintain, and optimize observability capabilities covering monitoring, alerting, logging, and distributed tracing.
