Ability to meet Microsoft, customer and/or government security screening requirements are required for this role. These requirements include, but are not limited to the following specialized security screenings: Microsoft Cloud Background Check:
- This position will be required to pass the Microsoft background and Microsoft Cloud background check upon hire/transfer and every two years thereafter.

Security Assurance: Implement and maintain security measures, such as access controls, encryption, and vulnerability management, to safeguard services against potential threats and ensure compliance with security standards and regulations. They conduct regular security audits, perform incident response activities related to security breaches, and proactively address security vulnerabilities to enhance the overall security posture of the services they support. Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) Integration: SREs work closely with development teams to integrate CI/CD pipelines into the software delivery process. They automate testing, deployment, and rollback procedures to ensure smooth and reliable software releases. By implementing CI/CD best practices, SREs facilitate rapid iteration cycles, improve deployment reliability, and reduce the risk of introducing regressions or failures into production environments. Service Reliability: SREs are responsible for ensuring the reliability and availability of software services by implementing robust monitoring, alerting, and incident response systems. They focus on minimizing downtime and service disruptions to meet reliability targets. Data Management and Governance: SREs in data management ensure the reliability, availability, and integrity of data systems and pipelines. They implement robust monitoring and alerting for data quality, latency, and throughput, ensuring that data is accurate and accessible for analysis and decision-making. SREs also collaborate with data engineers and data scientists to design resilient data architectures, optimize data storage and retrieval mechanisms, and implement data governance policies to safeguard sensitive information and comply with regulatory requirements. Automation and Tooling: SREs develop and maintain automation tools and infrastructure to streamline repetitive tasks, improve efficiency, and reduce human error. They leverage tools for deployment, configuration management, and scaling to support the reliability and scalability of services. Performance Optimization: SREs analyze system performance metrics and conduct capacity planning to ensure services can handle current and future traffic demands effectively. They identify performance bottlenecks, optimize resource utilization, and implement improvements to enhance service performance.
