Description

We are looking for a Senior SRE/ Observability Consultant to join our growing team in United States!

 

The role:
You will be our senior client-facing voice on reliability, observability and AIOps across North American accounts. This is a consulting seat, not an operations seat. You will enter unfamiliar client estates repeatedly, run discovery, form a point of view quickly, and defend it in front of engineering and IT leadership. Hands-on depth matters, but the work is advisory: assessments, maturity roadmaps, instrumentation strategy, and delivery oversight. You may also be asked to work on final deliverables as required.

 

What you'll do:

  • Client advisory and discovery: Reliability assessments, observability maturity reviews, SLO and SLI definition workshops, architecture guidance.
  • Pipeline and solutioning: Presales conversations, RFP responses, scoping and estimating SRE engagements, account expansion with sector leads.
  • Offering and IP: Reusable assessment frameworks, maturity models, reference architectures, enablement content.
  • Delivery Oversight: Direction, review and escalation support.

 

Must have:

  • Deep hands-on background in SRE, platform engineering or production operations, with real ownership of reliability outcomes.
  • Working depth in observability tooling and practice: OpenTelemetry, distributed tracing, metrics and log correlation, alerting design, incident triage.
  • Practical experience defining SLOs, error budgets and monitoring strategy in production environments.
  • Demonstrated client-facing or multi-environment work: consulting, professional services, internal platform advisory, or repeated greenfield onboarding.
  • Ability to write: Assessments, roadmaps and points of view are the deliverable.
  • Comfort with cloud-native infrastructure (Kubernetes, one or more major clouds) and CI/CD pipelines.

 

Strong plus:

  • AIOps and event correlation platforms, including anti-pattern experience rather than tool familiarity alone.
  • Background bridging performance engineering and production reliability.
  • Exposure to regulated or infrastructure-heavy verticals such as utilities, energy, financial services or healthcare.
  • FinOps or cost-versus-reliability trade-off work.
  • Relevant certifications in observability, cloud architecture or SRE practice
