We’re looking for a Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) who thrives in both application-level problem-solving and infrastructure design.

As part of the SRE team within Thales ODC, you'll be instrumental in bridging the gap between application development and operations. You will:
- Work in a DevOps environment, supporting ODC products running on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), with a focus on applying SRE principles for reliability and automation.
- Take ownership of both applications and infrastructure, ensuring the availability, performance, and scalability of our cloud-based services.
- Develop and maintain Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) and automation pipelines using tools like Terraform, Helm, and GitLab CI/CD.
- Collaborate with development teams to enhance product reliability using a “you build it, you run it” mindset.
- Act as a key technical voice during Change Advisory Board (CAB) reviews for high-impact changes, providing Tier II expertise.
- Manage real-time system monitoring and drive continuous improvements in observability and alerting.
- Support the end-to-end deployment of ODC applications in the cloud — from design and configuration to rollout and performance tuning.
- Perform operational readiness reviews and shape product roadmaps with a focus on stability and scalability.
- Guide technical documentation, incident response processes, and SLA compliance across tiers.
- Participate in on-call support rotations (24/7) to ensure production systems remain resilient.
What You Bring:
- A degree in Computer Science or a related technical field.
- 4+ years of experience with application deployment, system operations, and cloud infrastructure.
Proficiency with:
- GCP services and Kubernetes in production environments
- Automation tools like GitLab, Terraform, Helm
