Job Description

Job Title: Site Reliability Engineer
Clearance: Secret Clearance
Location: Norfolk, VA preferred. Other acceptable locations: San Diego, CA and Honolulu, HI
Job Type: Full-Time (on-call support as needed)

Position Overview:
The SRE will 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 create automated testing frameworks that simulate real-world conditions that validate 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 that operate reliably in production.
Your responsibilities will include maintaining complex computer systems by writing code to automate
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-IDAM role is responsible for supporting, migrating, automation and optimization of software
development and deployment process, infrastructure as code, and contribute to the overall maturity of
the Site Reliability Engineering program as well as supporting the creation, maintenance, update,
modernization, and refresh the capabilities and components of the Navy’s Enterprise Network.

The SRE-IDAM resource provides technical leadership and knowledge of related tasks and coordinates
with project managers, customers, stakeholders, and engineers to support ongoing activities as well as
new projects to maintain, transform, and modernize the Navy Enterprise Network.

Primary Responsibilities
• Test, maintain (patching, STIGing, and upgrading), troubleshoot, develop, and deliver solutions
associated with Active Directory, Azure, Delinea, Ansible, Microsoft Identity Manager (MIM),
Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS), DHCP, DNS, WINS, GPOs & PKI.
• Work alongside the development and operations teams to ensure speedy and reliable software
deployments, monitor systems, and improve overall reliability of the platform. In addition, as
you discover and document system bugs, you have the motivation to go off and fix them
yourself.
• Develop features utilize the AI coding tool and repository of scripts to automate, 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, automation and reliability across the platform with SRE/DevOps tools and
Infrastructure-as-Code.
• Develop and code high-quality pipeline automation workflows to support inside and outside the
cloud platform that are appropriate for business and technology strategies.
• Develop and execute test strategies that simulate real-world failure scenarios, including network
disruptions, hardware failures, and system overloads.
, • Create, script, and run performance tests to measure system behavior under varying levels of
load and traffic. Identify bottlenecks, performance degradation, and areas for optimization.
• Design, implement, and maintain automated test suites for infrastructure and application
components. Ensure that testing is integrated into the CI/CD pipeline to validate system
reliability with every release.
• Build automated systems for continuous performance testing, stress testing, and load testing.
• Work closely with SREs, developers, and operations teams to define reliability goals and develop
appropriate testing strategies to validate those goals.
• Ensure that new services and features undergo thorough testing for performance, reliability,
and failure recovery before deployment to production.
• Validate that monitoring, logging, and alerting mechanisms are functioning correctly by testing
systems under failure conditions.
• Ensure that Service Level Indicators (SLIs) and Service Level Objectives (SLOs) are accurately
measured and tracked through automated testing frameworks.
• Resolve most conflicts between timeline, budget, and scope independently but intuitively raise
sophisticated or consequential issues to senior management.
• Must be willing to work nights, weekends, and provide on-call support as needed.
