Site Reliability Engineer (SRE)

We are looking for an experienced Site Reliability Engineer to strengthen observability and operational excellence across a Microsoft Azure environment.. This Long-term Contract position will work closely with DevOps and engineering teams to create reliable monitoring practices, improve system insight, and support stable production operations. The role is ideal for someone who can translate reliability goals into practical monitoring solutions, actionable alerts, and measurable service performance improvements.

Responsibilities:

• Create and evolve an observability framework that supports Azure-based platforms as well as integrated third-party services.

• Develop meaningful dashboards, alerting rules, log analysis workflows, and distributed tracing capabilities using platforms such as Datadog or Dynatrace.

• Utilize Azure monitoring services, including Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, Application Insights, Managed Prometheus, and Azure Managed Grafana, to expand operational visibility.

• Evaluate system behavior across applications, infrastructure, and dependent services to improve performance tracking and service health awareness.

• Collaborate with DevOps and software engineering teams to strengthen reliability practices, accelerate issue detection, and improve response to production incidents.

• Analyze current monitoring coverage to uncover blind spots, reduce unnecessary alert volume, and support faster root-cause identification.

• Support infrastructure and application reliability initiatives within cloud-native environments, including Kubernetes-based deployments and Azure-hosted services.

• Contribute to implementation efforts tied to CI/CD workflows and infrastructure automation to ensure observability is consistently embedded in delivery processes.

Requirements

• At least 5 years of hands-on experience working within Microsoft Azure environments.
• Strong practical knowledge of Datadog, Dynatrace, or a comparable enterprise observability platform.
• Proven experience with Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, Application Insights, Prometheus, and Grafana.
• Background working with GitHub Actions, Terraform or other Infrastructure as Code tools, and Kubernetes.
• Solid understanding of monitoring concepts such as metrics, logs, traces, alerting strategies, and production reliability.
• Ability to independently lead observability efforts from solution design through implementation and ongoing refinement.
• Experience supporting production systems, troubleshooting operational issues, and applying site reliability engineering practices such as incident response, SLIs, and SLOs.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related discipline.
