- Establish and drive network reliability controls as part of onboarding and governance processes for new and existing integrations.
- Collaborate with application, platform, and operations teams to define and implement monitoring, alerting, and capacity planning standards.
- Identify risks, failure modes,



and reliability gaps in network components and proactively drive improvements.
- Ensure operational readiness through SRE best practices, including observability, incident prevention, and continuous improvement.
- Promote consistent adoption of SRE-aligned network practices across cross-functional teams.

Required Skills & Experience - Strong experience in Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) with a focus on network infrastructure and distributed systems.

- Deep understanding of network architecture, integration patterns, and messaging systems (experience with Solace is a plus).
- Proven experience in designing and implementing monitoring, alerting, and observability frameworks.
- Hands-on expertise in capacity planning, performance tuning, and reliability engineering.
- Experience with Data Flow Diagrams (DFDs), architecture documentation, and governance practices.
