• Automation & IaC: Design/build operational automation (health checks, remediation workflows); develop Terraform/Ansible configurations; script with Python (preferred), PowerShell, and/or Bash; integrate with ITSM for auditable self-service and controlled remediation.
• Incident/problem/RCA (L3): Lead diagnosis, stabilization, and recovery for major incidents; drive problem management, RCA, preventive actions; reduce MTTR/MTTD via better signals, runbooks, and automation.
• Observability standards: Define actionable signals, alert quality, dashboards, logging; tune alerting to reduce noise; run data-driven operational reviews.
• AIOps enablement: Advance predictive/proactive operations (anomaly detection, trend/capacity analysis); support Python-based analytics and ML/DL where applicable; industrialize operational intelligence safely.
• Provider enablement (outsourced L1/L2): Equip provider with clear runbooks, training, standard changes, escalation criteria; govern performance and ITSM alignment; drive continuous improvement.
• Collaboration & CI: Partner with Platform Engineering to ensure operable-by-design capabilities; feed operational insights into roadmap; mentor peers and promote engineering-led operations culture.

Required qualifications:

• 5+ years in platform/SRE/operations/platform engineering with production ownership in large-scale environments.
• Hands-on hybrid operations (cloud + on-prem) with strong enterprise cloud fundamentals (compute, networking, storage, identity).
• Production IaC and automation (Terraform, Ansible); scripting with Python/PowerShell/Bash (Python strongly preferred).
• Proven L3 incident troubleshooting and major incident leadership.

• Azure platform knowledge.

Preferred/valued:

• SRE practices (SLOs, error budgets, postmortems, toil reduction).
• Virtualization and backup/DR operations experience.
• Exposure to containers and DevOps/CI/CD; configuration drift control.
• Python for operational analytics; familiarity with ML/DL for anomaly detection, forecasting, clustering.
• Experience in large, multinational, 24/7 operations.
• Knowledge of AI/agentic approaches and modern automation patterns.

Desired attributes:

• Strong ownership; calm, structured incident leader.
• Clear communicator in global, matrixed environments; effective cross-team/vendor partner.
• Comfortable across cloud and on-prem; disciplined documentation; committed to operational excellence.

Key competencies:

• Site reliability/operations engineering
• Automation, IaC (Terraform/Ansible), scripting (Python/PowerShell/Bash)
• Hybrid infrastructure operations
• Incident/problem management, RCA, continuous improvement
• Observability and alert quality management (tool-agnostic)
• Provider enablement and operational governance
• Data-driven operations and AIOps-oriented thinking
