Job DescriptionEmbark on a journey of innovation with BAE Systems' Platform Engineering group, where we seek a Principal Networking Site Reliability Engineer to deploy and monitor of IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS solutions using cutting-edge technologies. In this role, you work to implementing robust, repeatable, standardized, and advanced technological solutions. You are not just addressing today's needs but setting the foundation for future operations.
As an SRE, you will implement the latest in automation, services, and infrastructure. You will be working on addressing existing problems with an eye to future technological needs. Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) is an engineering discipline that combines software and systems engineering to build and run large-scale, massively distributed, fault-tolerant systems. Site Reliability Engineers work a coordinated cross-capability team including Core Services, DevOps, Security, and IT Operations to achieve your project objectives. Software development in SRE focuses on optimizing existing systems, pro-actively identifying potential problems and eliminating work through automation. At BAE Systems, we don't just use technology; we evolve with it, offering you endless opportunities to stay at the forefront of the technological curve.
Key Responsibilities:
- Deliver Excellence: Work in a team of SREs to ensure seamless, continuous service delivery.
- Innovate and Implement: From concept to execution, bring service methodologies to life.
- Be the Problem Solver: Tackle complex service requests, ensuring swift and efficient resolutions.
- Measurement and Monitoring: Instrument and measure key performance indicators of the production environment to enable continuous improvement.
- Support the Infrastructure: Provide primary operational support and engineering for multiple large-scale distributed software applications
- Scale systems through automation
- Communicate and Collaborate: Coordinate with cross-team members to complete tasks.
Because this role involves a combination of collaborative/in-person and independent work, it will take the form of a hybrid work format, with time split between working onsite and remotely.
Join us. Be part of a team that's not just building technology but defining the future. At BAE Systems, your work is more than a job - it's a journey in innovation.
