Lead and operate reliability for large-scale distributed systems: deploy and monitor IaaS/PaaS/SaaS, automate scaling and deployments, instrument production for KPIs, troubleshoot performance, provide primary operational support, and collaborate with DevOps, Security, and IT Operations to ensure continuous service delivery.
Job Description
See what you're missing. Our employees work on the world's most advanced electronics - from detecting threats for F-35 pilots to illuminating the night for soldiers. Spanning air, land, sea, and space, we are developing the technology of tomorrow, delivered today. Drawing strength from our differences, we're innovating for the future. And you can, too.
Our flexible work environment provides you a chance to change the world without giving up your personal life. We put our customers first - exemplified by our mission: "We Protect Those Who Protect Us®." Sound like a team you want to be a part of? Come build your career with BAE Systems.
Embark 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:
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.
Apply now and propel your career into a future.
