BCG was the pioneer in business strategy when it was founded in 1963. Today, we help clients with total transformation-inspiring complex change, enabling organizations to grow, building competitive advantage, and driving bottom-line impact.\nTo succeed, organizations must blend digital and human capabilities. Our diverse, global teams bring deep industry and functional expertise and a range of perspectives to spark change. BCG delivers solutions through leading-edge management consulting along with technology and design, corporate and digital ventures-and business purpose. We work in a uniquely collaborative model across the firm and throughout all levels of the client organization, generating results that allow our clients to thrive.\nWhat You'll Do\nThe Senior Site Reliability Engineer is responsible for running the engineering capability behind a defined area of reliability across the organisation. The role works across multiple SRE disciplines including infrastructure, cloud, observability, automation, identity, security, and network operations, applying engineering thinking to reduce operational toil, improve resilience, and embed reliability and governance into delivery and operational workflows.\nThe role drives engineering quality and consistency within its scope of responsibility, contributes to wider engineering standards, and helps shape how reliability is delivered across the organisation. It builds reusable patterns, mentors engineers, and provides senior engineering input across a wider set of stakeholders.\nThe ideal candidate is a senior practitioner who is comfortable operating across multiple domains, balances delivery with mentorship, and can articulate engineering trade-offs clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.\nCore responsibilities\nRun and continuously improve the reliability engineering systems within scope, including automation, pipelines, observability, and operational tooling. \nDesign and implement engineering solutions that eliminate operational toil at scale and embed reliability into delivery workflows. \nHelp shape engineering standards, patterns, and reusable frameworks across the SRE practice. \nLead the engineering response to complex incidents within scope, drive systemic remediation, and contribute to post-incident learning. \nMentor and coach less senior engineers across reliability engineering, automation, observability, and SRE principles. \nDrive cross-team collaboration with engineering, platform, and operations functions to embed reliability and governance through engineering controls. \nCommunicate engineering status, risks, and recommendations clearly to senior stakeholders and leadership forums. \nContribute to monthly operational reviews with structured metrics on service health, ingestion or pipeline performance, automation coverage, and improvement progress. \nWhat You'll Bring\n5-8 years of experience in Site Reliability Engineering, Platform Engineering, or related operational engineering disciplines. \nStrong hands-on experience across multiple SRE domains, including cloud, automation, observability, and CI/CD. \nDemonstrated experience designing and implementing automation and reliability solutions at scale. \nDeep knowledge of at least one cloud platform (AWS or Azure), including networking, identity, and observability primitives. \nExperience with Infrastructure-as-Code (e.g. Terraform) and CI/CD pipelines. \nStrong scripting experience (e.g. Python). \nExperience leading incident response and driving systemic improvement. \nStrong stakeholder engagement and technical communication skills. \nDeep hands-on experience with one or more enterprise observability platforms (e.g. Splunk, Datadog). \nProven experience designing and operating telemetry pipelines, ingestion controls, and observability cost management. \nProven experience designing signals (SLIs, SLOs, synthetic checks, alerts) and ops automation triggered from those signals. \nExperience driving SLO/SLI practices across multiple teams. \nDeep hands-on experience operating cloud infrastructure across at least two of AWS, Azure, GCP, or Alibaba Cloud. \nProven experience designing reusable IaC patterns and landing zone components across cloud providers. \nStrong working knowledge of cloud networking, account management, identity primitives, and policy enforcement across providers. \nExperience driving cloud platform engineering standards and governance across multiple teams. \nDeep hands-on experience with identity platforms (e.g. Entra ID) and secrets management (e.g. HashiCorp Vault). \nProven experience designing OIDC, workload identity, and dynamic credential patterns. \nExperience driving Zero Trust and least-privilege adoption across multiple teams. \nDeep hands-on experience with security tooling embedded in CI/CD pipelines. \nProven experience designing policy-as-code controls and secure-by-default patterns. \nExperience driving secure engineering adoption across multiple teams. \nDeep hands-on experience with hybrid and cloud network architectures. \nProven experience designing automated network controls through IaC. \nExperience driving Zero Trust segmentation and network observability adoption. \nPreferred qualifications\nExperience working within a federated, multi-cloud, or large enterprise environment. \nFamiliarity with containerisation (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes). \nExperience with secrets management tooling (e.g. HashiCorp Vault). \nCloud certification at professional level. \nExperience with policy-as-code tooling (e.g. OPA, Sentinel). \nExperience contributing to engineering communities of practice. \nExperience with AIOps, noise reduction, and event correlation. \nExperience with event-driven ops automation platforms (e.g. ServiceNow, PagerDuty, custom workflows). \nAbility to lead complex observability platform incidents and capacity reviews. \nExperience with cloud FinOps, cost engineering, and chargeback tooling. \nHands-on experience with Alibaba Cloud platform architecture. \nExperience with cloud policy-as-code tools (e.g. AWS Service Control Policies, Azure Policy, OPA). \nStrong understanding of identity-related security risks and mitigations. \nStrong understanding of common security risks and mitigations across the SDLC. \nStrong understanding of network reliability, observability, and security patterns. \nWho You'll Work With\nHybrid or on-site work model. \nOperates as a senior individual contributor with mentorship and cross-team influence. \nExpected to participate in on-call rotation and lead incident response. \nOccasional travel may be required for team or stakeholder engagement. \nBoston Consulting Group is an
