Your Impact
As a Lead Site Reliability Engineer, you will play a critical role in shaping how OpenText designs, delivers, and scales its cloud-native platforms across AWS, Azure, GCP, and OpenText Cloud.
You'll lead complex initiatives that span infrastructure, automation, security, and observability—driving both technical excellence and engineering culture.
You'll be expected to set direction, mentor others, and take full lifecycle ownership of the systems you help build.
This role is ideal for someone who can bridge architecture and operations while scaling platforms that power mission-critical enterprise applications.
What You'll Do
Design and lead the delivery of resilient, scalable, and secure infrastructure across AWS, Azure, GCP, and OpenText Cloud
Own and evolve our Kubernetes platform, including multi-tenant deployments, networking, scaling policies, and upgrades
Drive infrastructure-as-code (IaC) standards using Terraform, Ansible, and native cloud tooling
Lead the design and implementation of CI/CD pipelines, release automation, and GitOps workflows
Define and implement SRE best practices, including incident response, SLO/SLI tracking, observability, and service ownership models
Partner with security and compliance teams to ensure platform-level controls meet enterprise and regulatory standards
Act as a technical leader and mentor, helping grow talent within the SRE and cloud engineering community
Contribute to strategic architectural decisions, including service modernization, workload migration, and platform engineering initiatives
Proactively identify performance, reliability, or cost optimization opportunities across environments
What You Need To Succeed
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience
Proven success in a leadership or principal SRE/cloud engineering role
Hands-on expertise in at least two major clouds (AWS, Azure, GCP); ideally all three
Strong production experience with Kubernetes (including Helm, autoscaling, ingress controllers, security policies)
Expert-level proficiency with Terraform and Git-based workflows
Proficient in Python, Go, or equivalent scripting for automation
Strong background in Linux administration, system security, and networking fundamentals
Solid understanding of CI/CD pipelines, secure deployment, and rollback strategies
Experience with monitoring/observability stacks (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, OpenTelemetry, CloudWatch)
Familiarity with compliance frameworks (ISO, SOC2, HIPAA) and security by design principles
Ability to influence architecture and guide teams without direct authority
