The Site Reliability Engineer owns reliability engineering for Jonas Club's hosted and SaaS environment, built primarily on Microsoft Azure across SaaS, legacy, application hosting, and data center infrastructure. This role defines and tracks service-level objectives, leads technical response for complex incidents, and drives the observability and automation work needed to keep client-facing systems reliable as the hosting migration scales.

TheSRE sits within Cloud Operations and partners closely with CloudOps and DevOps engineers, contributing reliability and observability standards to Jonas Club's Cloud Center of Excellence (CCoE) for consistent application across Jonas Club and its affiliated portfolio companies.

Key Responsibilities

• Define, own, and continuously refine SLIs and SLOs for hosted applications, and use error-budget burn to drive engineering and operational priorities.

• Own the reliability roadmap for assigned hosting workstreams, balancing new feature delivery against system stability.
• Design and maintain monitoring, logging, and distributed tracing (e.g., Azure Monitor, New Relic) to detect and resolve issues before they affect clients.

• Build dashboards and alerting that give the CloudOps team early signal on degrading reliability, not just outright outages.
• Act as a senior technical escalation point and incident commander for complex, high-severity production incidents.

• Own post-incident reviews and root-cause analysis, and track remediation items through to closure.

• Help design and continuously improve the on-call rotation and incident response process for the CloudOps team.
• Identify and automate repetitive operational work using Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform, ARM, Bicep) and scripting.

• Build self-healing and auto-remediation capabilities where appropriate to reduce manual intervention.
• Lead capacity planning and performance engineering across the hybrid Azure, legacy, and data center environment.

• Partner with CloudOps on infrastructure readiness as on-premises legacy clients migrate to the hosted environment, validating capacity and reliability ahead of cutover.
• Own tracking and reporting of DORA metrics (deployment frequency, lead time for changes, change failure rate, mean time to recovery) alongside SLIs/SLOs, and use them to drive continuous improvement.
• Partner with CloudOps on backup practices and the Critical Asset List, ensuring actual practice stays aligned with SOC 2 and PCI requirements and with client-facing hosting commitments.
• Contribute reliability and observability standards and best practices to the CCoE for consistent application across Jonas Club and its affiliated portfolio companies.

• Mentor CloudOps engineers on SRE practices, incident response, and operational excellence.
