Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) I

Thomson Reuters is strengthening its Site Reliability Engineering capability to help engineering and operations teams build operate and improve reliable production services.

TheSite Reliability Engineerwill support the tools processes and operational practices that help teams detect investigate respond to and prevent production reliability issues. You will work with observability platforms operational documentation automation deployment information and AI-enabled tools to improve the quality and availability of context used during day-to-day operations and incidents.

This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who enjoys learning how complex systems work improving operational readiness and contributing practical solutions to production challenges. You will work closely with experienced SREs Product Engineering teams platform teams and operations partners to maintain reliable services and reduce operational toil.

Rather than expecting you to know every architecture on day one this role will help you build familiarity across products and platforms through maintained documentation dashboards runbooks telemetry deployment data and operational tooling. When you identify gaps in that context you will help improve the systems and processes that keep it current.

You will also use AI-enabled engineering and investigation tools responsibly to accelerate analysis documentation and operational workflows. You will apply technical judgment validate outputs and escalate when additional expertise or review is needed.
