Simon Property Group is seeking an SRE / Observability Engineer to design, implement, and enhance enterprise monitoring, observability, reliability, and automation capabilities. This role partners with infrastructure, cloud, network, application, security, and operations teams to provide clear visibility into service health, proactively identify risks, accelerate incident resolution, and reduce repetitive operational work.

Primary Responsibilities

· Design, implement, and support enterprise observability, monitoring, telemetry, event management, alerting, and service health capabilities across on-premises, cloud, network, application, database, endpoint, and third-party environments.

· Establish standards for metrics, logs, traces, synthetic monitoring, dashboards, alert severity, thresholds, ownership, routing, escalation, and response.

· Develop dashboards, reports, and reliability scorecards that communicate availability, performance, capacity, risk, and customer impact to technical and nontechnical audiences.

· Improve alert quality and reduce operational noise through tuning, correlation, suppression, automation, and reusable monitoring patterns.

· Develop automation using PowerShell, Python, APIs, infrastructure as code, and related technologies to streamline telemetry deployment, incident triage, remediation, reporting, validation, and platform administration.

· Provide advanced support during major incidents by using telemetry and dependency data to accelerate diagnosis and service restoration, and translate post-incident findings into corrective actions.

· Analyze capacity, performance, resilience, and recurring failure patterns, and recommend improvements to architecture, redundancy, recovery, deployment, and monitoring practices.

· Participate in architecture and production-readiness reviews to ensure services have appropriate telemetry, alerts, ownership, runbooks, escalation paths, capacity plans, and recovery procedures.

· Serve as a subject matter expert by maintaining standards and documentation, training teams, and providing technical guidance on observability and reliability practices.

Required Qualifications

· Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.

· Five or more years of progressive experience in site reliability engineering, observability, infrastructure, cloud, systems, DevOps, platform engineering, or a related discipline.
