Description

The NMCI Service Management Integrion and Transport (SMIT) group Leidos has an opening for a Site Reliability Engineer to focus on the reliability, performance, and scalability of complex distributed systems. Under the SMIT Contract, the Leidos team is responsible for the core backbone for the Navy-Marine Corps Intranet, including cybersecurity services, network operions, network engineering, service desk, se support services, and da transport.

 The SRE will also develop and execute tests focused on system resilience, performance under load, and failure scenarios. They will work in tandem with other Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) and development teams to cree automed testing frameworks th simule real-world conditions th valide system behavior under normal and stress conditions, ensuring our services are resilient and meet established service level objectives (SLOs). Your work will contribute to the development of robust and scalable services th opere reliably in production.

Your responsibilities will include maintaining complex computer systems by writing code to autome software releases, monitor systems, and detect and fix problems before users even know there is an issue.  You will use these skills to improve site performance and overall reliability.  

The SRE Engineer role is responsible for supporting, migring, automion and optimizion of software development and deployment process, infrastructure as code, and contribute to the overall murity of the Site Reliability Engineering program.

Primary Responsibilities

• Work alongside the development and operions teams to ensure speedy and reliable software deployments, monitor systems, and improve overall reliability of the plform.  In addition, as you discover and document system bugs, you have the motivion to go off and fix them yourself.
• Develop feures utilize the AI coding tool and repository of scripts to autome, scale, test, and secure the cloud infrastructure and the pipelines.
• Enhance performance monitoring of the various systems via Splunk or other dashboard reporting tools.
• Identify performance bottlenecks and optimize the performance of cloud infrastructure.
• Contribute to continuing our SRE journey by suggesting ways to improve engineering build, maintenance, automion and reliability across the plform with SRE/DevOps tools and Infrastructure-as-Code. 
• Develop and code high-quality pipeline automion workflows to support inside and outside the cloud plform th are approprie for business and technology stregies.
• Develop and execute test stregies th simule real-world failure scenarios, including network disruptions, hardware failures, and system overloads.
• Cree, script, and run performance tests to measure system behavior under varying levels of load and traffic. Identify bottlenecks, performance degradion, and areas for optimizion.
• Design, implement, and maintain automed test suites for infrastructure and applicion components. Ensure th testing is integred into the CI/CD pipeline to valide system reliability with every release.
• Build automed systems for continuous performance testing, stress testing, and load testing.
• Work closely with SREs, developers, and operions teams to define reliability goals and develop approprie testing stregies to valide those goals.
• Ensure th new services and feures undergo thorough testing for performance, reliability, and failure recovery before deployment to production.
• Valide th monitoring, logging, and alerting mechanisms are functioning correctly by testing systems under failure conditions.
• Ensure th Service Level Indicors (SLIs) and Service Level Objectives (SLOs) are accurely measured and tracked through automed testing frameworks.
• Resolve most conflicts between timeline, budget, and scope independently but intuitively raise sophisticed or consequential issues to senior management.
