Job Description

What you'll be doing

As a member of CIBC’s Canadian Personal, Digital, Investing Technology and IT Transformation team, you’ll play a key role in enhancing the reliability, performance, and availability of complex software systems and services. As a Consultant, Site Reliability Engineering, you’ll apply advanced software engineering principles to design and implement robust monitoring frameworks, automate operational workflows, and optimize end-to-end client experiences. You’ll guide teams in balancing feature innovation with operational excellence, establish error budget-based decision-making frameworks, and champion a culture of continuous improvement. You’ll also lead incident response and root cause analysis, collaborate with cross-functional partners, and ensure compliance with evolving policies and standards to support enterprise-wide reliability goals.

At CIBC we enable the work environment most optimal for you to thrive in your role. You'll have the flexibility to manage your work activities within a hybrid work arrangement where you'll spend 1-3 days per week on-site, while other days will be remote.

How you'll succeed

• Automated Deployments and Release Management – Manage and optimize automated application deployments across multiple environments, ensuring consistency, reliability, and efficient releases. Monitoring, Incident Response, and Post-Mortem Analysis – Proactively monitor system health and performance, lead incident response and post-mortem analysis, and implement preventive measures to strengthen operational resilience.
• Continuous Improvement and Toil Reduction – Evaluate and enhance systems, processes, and tools to drive reliability, scalability, and efficiency, focusing on reducing manual operational work through automation. Observability and Telemetry – Define, implement, and maintain observability strategies, including telemetry, logging, tracing, and alerting, to ensure deep visibility into application behavior and performance.
• Collaboration and Knowledge Sharing – Consult and collaborate across the organization to align on reliability best practices, support consistency, and contribute to the development of standards and documentation. Production Support Readiness – Coordinate with production support teams to ensure operational readiness, analyze service level indicators and objectives, and maintain risk registries.

Who you are

• You have advanced technical expertise. You bring a minimum of 5 years of experience in site reliability engineering, application support, or DevOps roles, with a strong focus on automation and operational excellence.

• You’re an automation advocate. You have demonstrated expertise in automating deployments, incident response workflows, and operational tasks using scripting and orchestration tools such as Python, PowerShell, Bash, or JavaScript.

• You understand observability and AIOps. You have hands-on experience applying automation and machine learning to observability, anomaly detection, and incident resolution, and are proficient with tools like Dynatrace and Splunk.

• You influence without authority. You excel at collaborating across teams, building relationships, and sharing knowledge to drive reliability improvements, even when you do not have direct authority.

• You’re security-minded. You are familiar with application security best practices, including authentication, authorization, secrets management, and secure coding principles.

• You live your values. You bring high standards, genuine care to your relationships, and want to grow with an employer that shares your values and brings out your best.
