Role: Lead Site Reliability Engineer (Performance & Scalability)

Location: Lexington, KY, USA (Office-based)

The opportunity

OpenText Communications is a leading Customer Communications Management (CCM) platform that enables organizations to design and deliver personalized customer communications across print, email, web, and mobile channels.

We are seeking a Lead Site Reliability Engineer (Performance & Scalability) to join the OpenText Communications Product Development organization. This role is focused on performance, observability, scalability, and production reliability across our cloud-based products and services.

This is not a QA performance testing role. We are seeking an experienced software and reliability engineer who can diagnose and resolve complex production performance issues, not simply execute load tests or create performance test scripts.

You are great at:

• Lead investigations into complex production performance issues.
• Diagnose bottlenecks across applications, infrastructure, databases, cloud platforms, networks, and integrations.
• Perform root-cause analysis using telemetry, traces, logs, metrics, and profiling tools.
• Design and implement observability using metrics, logs, traces, dashboards, and alerting.
• Lead reliability improvements and mentor engineering teams.

What it takes:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
• 7+ years of experience in software engineering, SRE, production engineering, or performance engineering.
• Strong proficiency in Java, C/C++, C#, .NET, Python, or similar.
• Demonstrated experience diagnosing and resolving complex production performance issues.
• Experience implementing and operating observability solutions.

Required Candidate Profile

• Candidates must demonstrate significant hands-on experience diagnosing and resolving production performance problems within complex enterprise platforms.
• Experience limited to performance test planning, scripting, execution, or QA-centric performance testing is not sufficient for this role.

Nice to have:

• Experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP.
• Experience with Dynatrace, Datadog, Splunk, New Relic, AppDynamics, OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, or Grafana.
• Experience with Kubernetes, Docker, Linux, and JVM tuning.
