Sr. Site Reliability Engineer - Azure or GCP, Terraform, Python

The Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) is a hybrid software-and-systems engineer who ensures that cloud-based systems are highly reliable, scalable, and efficient. Acting as a bridge between development, platform engineering, security, and IT operations, the SRE brings engineering rigor to operations. In this role, the SRE will focus on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Microsoft Azure environments, applying best practices from DevOps and DevSecOps. Key goals include automating infrastructure management, improving deployment workflows (GitOps/CI/CD), and proactively addressing operational issues (from incidents to vulnerabilities and secrets management). The result is an enterprise-grade practice that drives up reliability and security while driving down outages and manual toil.

Infrastructure as Code and GitOps are core to this role: all infrastructure changes are managed through code and Git, enabling consistent, auditable, and automated deployments. By leveraging CI/CD pipelines and even AI-Ops tooling, the SRE minimizes manual work and human error, enforcing the desired state of systems and quick rollbacks when needed.

This SRE role embeds security into operations. The engineer will continuously run vulnerability scans, rotate secrets and certificates, and ensure compliance with security policies by design. By shifting left on security - integrating checks early in code and build stages - the SRE helps catch and prevent issues before they reach production.

The SRE’s responsibilities span three key areas:

• Cloud Infrastructure & Reliability Engineering
• Git Workflows & CI/CD Pipeline Management
• Operations & Security (DevSecOps)
