Sr. System Reliability Engineer

About the role

Please note, this team is hiring across all levels and candidates are individually assessed and appropriately leveled based upon their skills and experience.

The Product and Performance Engineering (PPE) Team ensures the availability and performance of Netskope’s applications, particularly in the area of end-user experience. This team is a post-incident escalation point for issues where the root cause is not immediately clear, or it has been determined that more than one service component (infrastructure or application) contributed to overall impairment. This team owns the determination of the root cause in such cases. Typically, the individual assigned to a specific issue will build a “tiger team” of individuals from across the company who have deep knowledge in a particular area and coordinate activities between these individuals to form and execute on a unified plan. The PPE team is ultimately responsible for the outcome (resolution) of the issue.

What’s in it for you

PPE is seeking a production service-oriented, self-driven, and motivated Infrastructure SRE to join the team and help to build out our existing infrastructure and troubleshoot problems as they arise, ensuring the highest levels of systems and infrastructure availability of Netskope’s production services. You will also be responsible for integrating services health metrics, identifying/measuring these service health indicators and providing creative tool sets for the frontline operations support teams.
