The role, at a glance.
CentralReach is seeking a senior Site Reliability Engineer to own and improve reliability across its public and private cloud platforms. The role focuses on availability, latency, capacity planning, observability, incident response, SLOs/SLIs, error budgets, and automation to reduce operational toil. The engineer will partner closely with software engineering teams to improve release readiness, architecture, and operational practices. Required expertise spans AWS and cloud-native infrastructure, Kubernetes, Helm, CI/CD, Linux and Windows systems, networking, and observability tooling including Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, Splunk, and OpenTelemetry. This is a senior, hands-on reliability role in a fast-moving platform engineering environment.

Sample interview questions
I begin by identifying user-critical journeys and defining measurable SLIs such as availability, latency, and successful request rate. I set SLO targets with product and engineering stakeholders, then use error-budget consumption to guide release decisions, prioritize reliability work, and trigger investigation before service performance materially degrades.
I first establish incident ownership, scope, customer impact, and a clear communication cadence. I use dashboards, logs, traces, and recent-change analysis to isolate the failure, apply the lowest-risk mitigation such as rollback, scaling, or traffic control, and verify recovery against service metrics. Afterward, I lead a blameless retrospective with specific corrective actions, owners, and due dates.
I would standardize instrumentation for logs, metrics, and traces through OpenTelemetry and define consistent service names, correlation IDs, and meaningful labels. I would create dashboards and actionable alerts tied to SLOs rather than noisy infrastructure thresholds, then use traces and structured logs to accelerate root-cause analysis. The approach would include retention, cardinality, cost, and access-control standards.
I would quantify repetitive manual work and prioritize tasks with high frequency, production risk, or developer impact. Typical improvements include self-service deployment workflows, infrastructure-as-code, automated remediation, standardized runbooks, capacity forecasting, and CI/CD guardrails. I would measure success through reduced manual effort, faster recovery, fewer failed changes, and improved deployment velocity.
I validate resource requests and limits, autoscaling, health probes, disruption budgets, secure configuration, and rollback procedures. I also confirm that services have ownership, SLOs, dashboards, alerts, runbooks, dependency mapping, load testing, and incident-response expectations before launch. This operational-readiness process makes reliability a shared responsibility between platform and application engineering.
