Senior Platform SRE (Platform Operations)

Role purpose:

• Ensure reliability, operability, and continuous improvement of TD SYNNEX enterprise platforms across hybrid cloud and on‑prem environments.

• Engineering‑driven operations focused on automation, Infrastructure‑as‑Code (IaC), observability, and toil reduction.

• Serve as the L3 escalation for complex incidents; continuously improve platform run posture and readiness for L1/L2 execution.

Core responsibilities:

• Platform reliability (hybrid cloud + on‑prem): Own L3 reliability posture; define SLOs/KPIs; lead operability gates and production readiness; maintain runbooks/SOPs.

• Automation & IaC: Design/build operational automation (health checks, remediation workflows); develop Terraform/Ansible configurations; script with Python (preferred), PowerShell, and/or Bash; integrate with ITSM for auditable self‑service and controlled remediation.

• Incident/problem/RCA (L3): Lead diagnosis, stabilization, and recovery for major incidents; drive problem management, RCA, preventive actions; reduce MTTR/MTTD via better signals, runbooks, and automation.

• Observability standards: Define actionable signals, alert quality, dashboards, logging; tune alerting to reduce noise; run data‑driven operational reviews.

• AIOps enablement: Advance predictive/proactive operations (anomaly detection, trend/capacity analysis); support Python‑based analytics and ML/DL where applicable; industrialize operational intelligence safely.

• Provider enablement (outsourced L1/L2): Equip provider with clear runbooks, training, standard changes, escalation criteria; govern performance and ITSM alignment; drive continuous improvement.

• Collaboration & CI: Partner with Platform Engineering to ensure operable‑by‑design capabilities; feed operational insights into roadmap; mentor peers and promote engineering‑led operations culture.

Required qualifications:

• 5+ years in platform/SRE/operations/platform engineering with production ownership in large‑scale environments.

• Hands‑on hybrid operations (cloud + on‑prem) with strong enterprise cloud fundamentals (compute, networking, storage, identity).

• Production IaC and automation (Terraform, Ansible); scripting with Python/PowerShell/Bash (Python strongly preferred).

• Proven L3 incident troubleshooting and major incident leadership.

• Strong infrastructure fundamentals: networking (including DNS/DHCP concepts), virtualization, storage, Windows Server and/or Linux.

• ITSM experience (incident, problem, change) and ticket‑based operations.

• Azure platform knowledge.

Preferred/valued:

• SRE practices (SLOs, error budgets, postmortems, toil reduction).

• Virtualization and backup/DR operations experience.

• Exposure to containers and DevOps/CI/CD; configuration drift control.

• Python for operational analytics; familiarity with ML/DL for anomaly detection, forecasting, clustering.

• Experience in large, multinational, 24/7 operations.

• Knowledge of AI/agentic approaches and modern automation patterns.

Desired attributes:

• Engineering mindset; automates and standardizes to reduce toil.

• Strong ownership; calm, structured incident leader.

• Clear communicator in global, matrixed environments; effective cross‑team/vendor partner.

• Comfortable across cloud and on‑prem; disciplined documentation; committed to operational excellence.

Key competencies:

• Site reliability/operations engineering

• Automation, IaC (Terraform/Ansible), scripting (Python/PowerShell/Bash)

• Hybrid infrastructure operations

• Incident/problem management, RCA, continuous improvement

• Observability and alert quality management (tool‑agnostic)

• Provider enablement and operational governance

• Data‑driven operations and AIOps‑oriented thinking
