  Job Description:

  At Discover, be part of a culture where diversity, teamwork and collaboration reign. Join a company that is just as employee-focused as it is on its customers and is consistently awarded for both.

You’ll interact with product leaders and their teams supporting large-scale systems of record for all Cardholders as you get a chance to build up the SRE practice from the ground up.

  The SRE function isn’t new across Discover. In Card Portfolio, we historically relied on our engineering teams to play that role when needed. Along the way, we’ve realized that we need to find a leader in this craft to define and execute on the “how”. Moreover, it opens the opportunity for this leader to contribute both internally and externally across the SRE community.

  Oversee the availability, performance, and reliability of our critical services, collaborating closely with product teams

  Define and implement observability strategies across our product teams

  Lead investigations into service problems (blameless post-mortems) and surface themes to enhance overall system reliability

  Partner with teams and provide hands-on training in observability, incident management, and reliability best practices (i.e., defining SLOs, support playbooks, logging standards, etc.)

  Roll up your sleeves as needed to pair with engineers on troubleshooting, pairing, or code reviews

  Actively manage, escalate risk and customer-impacting issues to management within the day-to-day role

  Minimum Qualifications

  At a minimum, here’s what we need from you:

  Bachelors – Computer Science or related

  6+ Years -- Information Technology, (Software) Engineering, or related

  Internal applicants only: technical proficiency rating of proficient on the Dreyfus engineering scale

  Preferred Qualifications

  3+ years in an SRE or DevOps role

  Experience with DevOps tools, processes, and culture

  Extensive experience leading customer facing systems in a mission critical environment

  Advanced experience with programming and/or scripting languages (Python, Java, bash)

  In depth knowledge on application development landscape - Java, Rest API, design patterns and CI/CD.

  Extensive experience with monitoring and observability tools/technologies (i.e., Grafana, Kibana, Datadog, AppDynamics)
