Principal, Staff Site Reliability

The role

You will own the reliability, scalability, and developer experience of platforms powering investment, portfolio, and enterprise operations. You will set technical direction for a hybrid cloud footprint and lead work applying AI to incident response.

What you will do

• Own end-to-end reliability for business-critical services including SLOs, error budgets, capacity planning, DR, and incident command.
• Design and evolve multi-cloud and on-prem infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and colocated environments.
• Build and maintain the Terraform, Ansible, and CI/CD backbone.
• Advance observability including metrics, logs, traces, and profiling.
• Lead the buildout of AI-assisted SRE capabilities.
• Partner with security, data platform, and application teams on hardening, patching, secrets, network segmentation, and change management.
• Participate in a leader-level on-call rotation.
• Run blameless postmortems and drive systemic fixes to closure.
• Mentor senior engineers.
• Set the bar for infrastructure code review, production readiness reviews, and reliability practice.

Required qualifications

• 10+ years building and operating production infrastructure at scale, including hybrid cloud + on-prem.
• Deep expertise in AWS and Azure compute, networking, IAM, and managed data services.
• Expert-level Linux, Terraform, Ansible, and modern CI/CD (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Argo, or equivalent).
• Track record of measurable improvements in platform reliability, MTTR, deployment velocity, and developer productivity.
• Strong scripting/software skills in Python and/or Go.
• Production experience with Kubernetes, service meshes, and container security posture.
• Fluency with observability stacks (Datadog, Prometheus/Grafana, OpenTelemetry, ELK/Splunk).
• Experience running incident command and driving durable postmortem outcomes.

Nice to have

• Prior experience in financial services, buy-side, or another regulated environment (SOC 2, SOX, GLBA).
• Hands-on work with AI / LLM tooling for SRE — agentic incident response, RAG over runbooks/telemetry, or automated RCA.
• Experience with data-center automation, colocation, or modular infrastructure.
• FinOps depth: unit economics, cost attribution, and budget governance across AWS/Azure.
