About the Job

Requirements

Formal training or certification in site reliability engineering concepts and at least 5 years of applied experience, with the requirement specifying NAMR/APAC – India/LATAM/Hong Kong.
Demonstrated experience leading SRE/reliability engineering or production engineering transformations in a complex enterprise environment.
Strong engineering background and ability to design, build, and deliver automation and reliability solutions.
Fluency and expertise in Python.
Deep practical knowledge of SLOs/SLIs, error budgets, incident management, postmortems, observability design across metrics/logs/traces, distributed systems troubleshooting, resilience engineering, performance/capacity management, and change risk reduction.
Proficiency and experience with telemetry collection using tools and standards such as Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, Datadog, Dynatrace, and Splunk.
Experience delivering automation at scale, including scripting, workflow automation, runbook automation, and CI/CD-integrated guardrails.
Ability to influence without authority, coach leaders, and build communities of practice.
Strong judgment around risk, security, and controls, especially when applying AI to production workflows.
Demonstrated experience using enterprise-authorized AI capabilities at work to improve SRE workflows, such as incident investigation support and knowledge capture, with strong validation habits and awareness of data sensitivity.
Ability to evaluate AI-assisted operational recommendations for correctness and risk, define appropriate guardrails for team usage, and ensure outcomes align with resiliency and security expectations.

Responsibilities

Define the Production Management SRE vision, north-star outcomes, and multi-year roadmap aligned to CIB and JPMorganChase Global Technology priorities, and establish the global SRE operating model, including ways of working, intake, prioritization, and engagement with engineering and production support.
Build and scale a high-impact SRE capability by developing a small core team and/or a global community of practice, and partnering with business-aligned Production Support leads to embed reliability practices and reduce operational load through engineering.
Set and implement firmwide reliability standards and patterns across service cataloging, SLO/SLI and error budgets, incident response maturity, blameless post-incident reviews, resiliency patterns, and capacity/performance/scalability engineering.
Drive evidence-based service health and reliability governance through regular service reviews and reporting on availability, latency, incident trends, MTTR/MTTD, change failure rate, and customer impact; continuously improve observability and alerting quality across logs/metrics/traces, golden signals, end-user journey monitoring, actionable routing, and false-positive reduction.
Champion enterprise-authorized AI adoption to reduce operational toil and improve incident response, including triage, troubleshooting, and post-incident analysis; lead reuse-first AI-assisted reliability workflows across the SDLC/toolchain, including CI/CD quality checks, automation, and operational readiness, with traceability/auditability and required resiliency/security controls.
Use enterprise-authorized AI capabilities within the work environment to accelerate major-incident triage, troubleshooting, and post-incident analysis, validating outputs and handling operational data according to sensitivity and security requirements.
Lead reuse-first adoption of AI-assisted reliability workflows across SDLC/toolchain practices, including CI/CD quality checks, test/validation automation, and operational readiness, ensuring traceability/auditability, resiliency, and security controls.

Desired Qualifications

Proficiency with containers and container orchestration.
Experience troubleshooting common networking technologies and issues.
Advanced knowledge of software applications and technical processes, emerging depth in one or more technical disciplines, and active self-education to evaluate and recommend suitable new technologies.
Familiarity with Athena or prior experience with Athena.
