Improve the reliability, scalability, and performance of large-scale data platforms, ML pipelines, and inference services. Build automation and operational tooling to reduce toil and evolve centralized platform services across the organization.
Requires experience operating reliable distributed systems and large-scale data or ML workloads using Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure. Proficiency in infrastructure-as-code (Terraform), CI/CD tools, and automation languages like Python or Go is essential.
This Senior Site Reliability Engineer role is on our Data & Analytics team, partnering with data, analytics, ML, and platform engineering to improve the reliability, scalability, and performance of large-scale data platforms, analytics pipelines, ML training pipelines, and inference services.
In addition to core SRE responsibilities, this role will build operational and automation tooling that reduces toil, speeds up issue resolution, and improves engineering velocity. This includes contributing to internal platform services such as shared tooling, data integrations, and access-control patterns used across Blizzard.
The ideal candidate is a production-minded SRE or platform engineer who is comfortable operating critical systems, writing software, and building tools that improve engineering efficiency without compromising reliability.
This role is open to candidates based in Irvine, CA or Albany, NY (hybrid or on-site), as well as fully remote candidates.
Responsibilities
Participate in an on-call rotation and drive incidents to resolution
Lead blameless postmortems and identify systemic reliability improvements
Partner with data, ML, and platform teams to improve batch, streaming, training, and inference workloads
Support ML training pipelines and inference services, including GPU workloads
Help define how data and ML services run on Kubernetes
Design and build automation and operational tooling (e.g., workflows, diagnostic tooling, runbooks) to reduce on-call burden
Build and evolve centralized platform services, including shared tooling, data integrations, and access controls
Diagnose and resolve reliability, performance, and cost issues across distributed systems
Champion automation, documentation, and practices that reduce toil
Maintain infrastructure using Terraform and infrastructure-as-code principles
Improve CI/CD and GitOps workflows (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, ArgoCD)
Operate and improve containerized services on Kubernetes
Define and measure reliability using SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets
Run load tests, capacity modeling, and production validation
Build internal tools and paved paths that help teams operate safely and efficiently
Minimum Requirements
Experience operating reliable, distributed systems in SRE, platform, or similar roles
Experience with data, analytics, ML, or large-scale distributed workloads
Strong knowledge of Linux, containers, Kubernetes, and cloud infrastructure
Experience building automation or internal tools (Python, Go, shell, etc.)
Experience with infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform)
Experience with CI/CD or GitOps systems (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions, ArgoCD)
Familiarity with observability (metrics, logs, traces, alerting, incident response)
Solid understanding of SRE concepts (SLIs, SLOs, error budgets, postmortems)
Experience using modern development and automation practices to improve reliability and efficiency
Experience building internal tooling, automation, or developer productivity systems
Strong communication skills with technical and cross-functional partners
Bonus Points
Experience with data and ML systems (training pipelines, model serving, GPU workloads)
Experience with distributed systems and messaging (Kafka, Pub/Sub)
Experience working in Kubernetes-based environments
Familiarity with observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana)
Experience operating systems in cloud environments (GCP, AWS)
