In addition to operational support, the candidate will contribute to feature rollouts, system improvements, and observability enhancements. Flexibility to support global time zones is essential, as the team operates toward a 24x7 support model.

Core Operational Responsibilities

  • Monitor production systems and respond to alerts in a timely and effective manner.
  • Investigate and troubleshoot issues across multiple services, microservices, and cloud platforms.
  • Own incident triage, coordination, and resolution across Dev, Infra, and dependent teams.
  • Perform root cause analysis (RCA) for production incidents and drive preventive improvements.
  • Collaborate with developers and stakeholders to improve system reliability and observability.

Digital Assets / Benji Platform Responsibilities

  • Develop techno-functional understanding of tokenized fund workflows, including onboarding, transactions, reconciliation, and redemptions.
  • Correlate technical issues with business and financial impact, including transactions, fund integrity, and user experience.
  • Troubleshoot blockchain-integrated systems, including node interactions, RPC issues, and on-chain/off-chain inconsistencies.
  • Monitor and support EOD/batch processing, reconciliation jobs, and financial data flows across systems.

SRE & Observability

  • Contribute to operational documentation, runbooks, and knowledge sharing.
  • Define and monitor SLIs/SLOs and improve alerting and monitoring quality.
  • Use observability tools to analyze logs, metrics, and traces and derive actionable insights.
  • Drive continuous improvement through post-incident reviews and reliability engineering practices.

Release, Change & Resilience

  • Support feature deployments, release validation, and post-release monitoring.
  • Participate in change readiness and risk assessments.
  • Contribute to disaster recovery (DR) testing, failover validation, and resilience improvements.

Security & Compliance

  • Support identity and access-related troubleshooting, such as Okta.
  • Assist in vulnerability management, audit readiness, and secure operations practices.

AI & Operational Efficiency

  • Leverage AI-assisted tools such as Copilot, ChatGPT, and Claude to improve efficiency in log analysis, incident triage, and documentation.
  • Identify opportunities to use AI/automation agents to streamline repetitive operational tasks and improve MTTR.
  • Apply critical thinking when using AI tools, ensuring accuracy and reliability in production environments.

On-Call & Coverage

  • Participate in an on-call rotation to ensure round-the-clock platform support and availability.

Required Qualifications

  • Experience in systems analysis, operations support, or Site Reliability Engineering (SRE).
  • Strong troubleshooting skills across distributed systems with a data-driven approach.
  • Proficiency with monitoring tools and log analysis.
  • Ability to work independently and in cross-functional teams.
  • Excellent communication, documentation, and stakeholder management skills.

Preferred Skills & Experience

  • Experience with Azure cloud services.
  • Familiarity with Linux, Java, and Spring Boot applications.
  • Hands-on experience with Splunk, Prometheus, and Grafana.
