Lead or contribute to reliability initiatives (e.g., self‑healing automation, safe rollouts/canaries, rollback strategies) appropriate to level. Observability Raise the bar on end‑to‑end telemetry for factory systems: high‑signal metrics, logs, traces, and SLO‑driven alerts (e.g., Prometheus/Grafana, Loki/Tempo, Datadog, Splunk). Establish consistent dashboards and service health views for shop/line‑level systems, including exporters for hypervisor/VM health and plant endpoints where feasible (e.g., vSphere exporters). Improve alert quality and ownership: reduce noise, align escalation policies, and ensure actionable runbooks and health checks for critical services. Build internal tooling (CLI/SDKs, operators/controllers, remediation bots) that turns telemetry into prevention and rapid response. Tiger Team / Incident Response Act as technical incident responder for factory‑impacting events; lead fast triage, stabilize services. Drive post‑incident reviews that eliminate repeat failure modes; improve MTTR and availability through durable engineering fixes and process improvements. Drill on‑call readiness, escalation policies, and schedules using established incident tooling and practices (e.g., Rootly/alternatives), tuned for 24x7 manufacturing operations. Mentor peers through reliability deep dives, failover exercises, and simulation runbooks (breadth of mentorship scales with level). Qualifications Production experience in SRE/Platform/DevOps or Operations, owning availability, performance, and cost for critical services. Strength in several of: Kubernetes/EKS and container networking; AWS primitives for resilient platforms; vSphere/ESXi and virtualization; Linux (and working Windows Server) administration; service discovery, load balancing, and DNS. Observability across metrics/logs/traces, SLO/error‑budget practice, and alert hygiene with tools like Prometheus/Grafana, Loki/Tempo, Datadog, Splunk. Production change safety: GitOps, progressive delivery, guardrails in CI/CD (GitLab preferred), automated rollbacks, and policy‑as‑code. Infrastructure automation: Terraform/Terragrunt, Ansible, scripting (Python/Bash), secrets management, and least‑privilege patterns. Incident leadership/participation in 24x7 environments; clear comms under pressure and a habit of converting learnings into durable fixes. Ability to partner across Factory IT, Manufacturing Engineering, Security, Networking, and application teams; communicate tradeoffs simply and drive decisions. Nice to have Industrial/OT‑adjacent experience (lineside HMIs, MES/SCADA integrations, PLC interfaces, ruggedized compute) and shop‑floor networking constraints.
