Job Description

  • Achieve measurable improvements in system uptime and performance by implementing robust reliability engineering practices and leading incident prevention initiatives.
  • Reduce Mean Time to Detect (MTTD) and Mean Time to Resolve (MTTR) through streamlined incident response protocols and team readiness, ensuring minimal disruption to customers.
  • Build, lead, and develop a skilled team of Customer Reliability Engineers with a strong focus on ownership, collaboration, and continuous learning.
  • Ensure that reliability is embedded into service design, development, deployment, and operations by partnering with engineering, product, and operations teams.
  • Deliver clear and actionable reporting on reliability metrics to support leadership decision-making and continuous improvement.
  • Align reliability goals with customer expectations by addressing root causes of service degradation and championing seamless user experiences.

    • Responsibilities

  • Identify and address potential reliability risks before they impact customers by implementing observability tools, runbooks, and automated responses.
  • Drive reliability improvements that also reduce operational costs by eliminating manual processes, optimizing resource usage, and reducing reactive work.
  • Ensure the continuous and stable operation of customer-facing systems by applying reliability engineering principles and best practices.
  • Oversee timely incident response, root cause analysis, and implementation of long-term fixes to prevent recurring issues and improve service resilience.
  • Build and lead a high-performing reliability engineering team, providing coaching, mentorship, and career development to support individual and team growth.
  • Work closely with software engineering, DevOps, product, and support teams to embed reliability into the end-to-end service lifecycle.
  • Ensure effective monitoring systems, dashboards, and alerts are in place to detect, respond to, and analyze system performance and failures.
  • Define and drive the implementation of a reliability roadmap aligned with business objectives, system scalability, and customer needs.
  • Translate system performance into customer impact metrics (e.g., NPS, downtime minutes) and work to continuously enhance the end-user experience.
  • Track and report on key reliability metrics such as uptime, latency, error rates, and incident frequency to support transparency and data-driven decisions.
  • Proactively identify technical and operational risks, ensuring mitigation strategies are in place and aligned with compliance standards.
  • Foster a culture of experimentation and improvement by exploring automation, new tools, and process enhancements to strengthen reliability practices

    • Qualifications

    Education :

  • Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or a related technical discipline.

  • A Master's Degree in Technology Management, Engineering, or Business Administration is an added advantage

    • Experience :

  • Experience : 7–10 years of experience in IT operations, systems engineering, or reliability engineering within a technology-driven environment.
  • At least 3–5 years in a leadership or managerial role, with proven experience leading reliability or DevOps team

    • Skills :

  • Hands-on experience implementing and managing observability platforms, monitoring tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, Splunk), and automation frameworks.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead incident response efforts, conduct root cause analysis, and implement sustainable, long-term service reliability improvements.
  • Experience working in agile environments and with cross-functional teams, including software development, infrastructure, product, and support.
  • Strong understanding of cloud-native technologies, container orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes), CI / CD pipelines, and infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform, Ansible).
