Senior Site Reliability Engineer, Wikimedia Enterprise

Accountabilities

In this role, you will be responsible for ensuring the reliability, scalability, and performance of large-scale distributed systems that power data and API services. You will:

• Define, track, and continuously improve SLOs, SLIs, and error budgets for critical services


• Design and enhance observability systems including metrics, logging, and distributed tracing


• Participate in incident response, on-call rotations, and post-incident reviews to drive continuous improvement


• Build and maintain CI/CD and GitOps pipelines enabling secure, automated, and reliable deployments


• Implement infrastructure-as-code and automation-first practices to reduce operational toil


• Design and operate scalable cloud infrastructure across production environments


• Drive capacity planning, performance optimization, and resilience testing (including chaos engineering practices)


• Improve developer experience by enabling self-service infrastructure and streamlined workflows


• Collaborate with security, software, and release engineering teams to embed reliability and security best practices


• Optimize infrastructure cost and efficiency using FinOps principles without compromising availability


• Develop and maintain operational metrics such as MTTR, MTTD, and incident frequency


• Contribute to platform engineering initiatives that standardize infrastructure across teams


• Mentor peers and promote best practices in SRE, automation, and systems reliability
