Site Reliability Engineer GCP Work From Home

Role Overview

The Junior Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) is responsible for ensuring the availability, performance, and reliability of production systems hosted on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), with a strong focus on voice and real-time communication services. This role provides L2 production support, actively manages incidents, and drives root cause analysis to prevent recurrence. You will work closely with engineering, network, and operations teams to improve system resilience, automate operational tasks, and meet SLA commitments. The ideal candidate brings a strong mix of cloud reliability engineering and voice/VoIP technical expertise in a live production environment.

Specific Duties And Responsibilities

• Monitor Production Systems: Use monitoring tools (e.g., Cloud Monitoring) to ensure the health and performance of cloud-based production systems on Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
• Incident Management: Respond to production incidents, triage issues, and ensure timely resolution. Perform root cause analysis (RCA) and document findings.
• Performance Tuning: Analyze system performance, identify bottlenecks, and make recommendations for improvements to optimize service reliability, scalability, and speed.
• System Alerts and Incident Escalation: Set up and maintain system alerts to proactively detect issues. Escalate critical issues to appropriate teams and ensure swift resolution.
• Collaboration with Engineering: Work closely with development and operations teams to ensure smooth production releases, provide feedback on system performance, and implement monitoring solutions for new services.
• System Documentation: Maintain documentation related to system configurations, monitoring setups, and incident resolutions to create knowledge-sharing practices across teams.
• Service Level Agreements (SLAs): Track and report on SLA performance, ensuring that production services meet predefined availability and reliability standards.
• Proactive System Health Checks: Conduct routine system health checks, reviewing logs and performance metrics, to ensure system uptime.
• Disaster Recovery and Backup: Monitor backup systems and ensure that disaster recovery procedures are in place and tested.
