Hispanic Alliance for Career Enhancement, Scottsdale, Arizona, us, 85261
At CVS Health, we’re building a world of health around every consumer and surrounding ourselves with dedicated colleagues who are passionate about transforming health care. As the nation’s leading health solutions company, we reach millions of Americans through our local presence, digital channels and more than 300,000 purpose-driven colleagues - caring for people where, when and how they choose in a way that is uniquely more connected, more convenient and more compassionate. And we do it all with heart, each and every day.
The Staff Engineer - SRE, Retail & Pharmacy will implement and maintain comprehensive observability solutions, providing real-time insights into the performance and overall health of systems to proactively identify and address potential issues. This role is responsible for investigating and resolving incidents quickly during critical situations and performing root cause analysis to prevent future recurrence. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to build robust monitoring, alerting, and telemetry solutions, enabling proactive issue detection and resolution across distributed systems. As a senior member of the SRE team, you will drive best practices, mentor others, and shape the strategic evolution of our observability ecosystem in a complex, edge-centric architecture.
What You Will Do:
Observability Strategy & Implementation
Design and implement comprehensive observability solutions tailored for edge computing environments, including monitoring, logging, tracing, and metrics collection, to provide deep visibility into system performance and health across distributed remote facilities
Define and maintain Service Level Indicators (SLIs), Service Level Objectives (SLOs), and business KPIs to measure and enhance system reliability in edge and centralized infrastructure
Build and optimize dashboards, visualizations, and alerting systems to enable real-time insights and rapid incident response for edge nodes and remote facilities
Implement distributed tracing and log aggregation systems to troubleshoot complex issues in edge computing environments
System Reliability & Performance
Collaborate with engineering teams to ensure applications and infrastructure at edge locations are designed with observability in mind, incorporating best practices for instrumentation and monitoring in resource-constrained environments
Drive proactive identification of issues in edge facilities through advanced observability tools, reducing Mean Time to Detect (MTTD) and Mean Time to Resolve (MTTR) across distributed systems
Lead incident postmortems, analyzing root causes specific to edge environments and implementing observability-driven improvements to prevent recurrence
Tooling & Automation
Develop and maintain tools, scripts, and automation to enhance observability pipelines, optimizing for the unique challenges of edge computing, such as bandwidth limitations and intermittent connectivity
Evaluate and integrate industry-standard observability tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack, OpenTelemetry) and recommend solutions tailored for edge computing use cases
Optimize observability data storage, retention, and querying to balance performance, cost, and scalability across a large number of remote facilities
Leadership & Collaboration
Mentor and guide junior SREs and engineers on observability best practices for edge computing, fostering a culture of reliability and proactive monitoring
Partner with solution, engineering, and business teams to align observability efforts with business objectives, ensuring seamless operation of edge and centralized systems
Lead cross-functional initiatives to improve observability, reliability, and operational efficiency across distributed edge infrastructure
Continuous Improvement
Stay current with emerging observability trends, tools, and methodologies, particularly those suited for edge computing and distributed systems, and advocate for their adoption
Contribute to the development of observability standards, runbooks, and documentation tailored for edge environments to ensure consistency and scalability
Drive cost optimization for observability infrastructure while maintaining high-quality monitoring and alerting capabilities across remote facilities
Minimum Qualifications:
8+ years of experience in SRE, DevOps, or related technology roles
5+ years of experience delivering software in a large-scale environment with reliability and resilience concepts (multi-region, multi-cloud, containerization, etc.)
5+ years of experience with observability and monitoring tools such as Splunk, Dynatrace, Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, etc.
3+ years of experience with programming/scripting languages (e.g., Python, Java) for automation and tooling in distributed environments
3+ years of experience on Cloud Technologies (AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud)
3+ years of experience with source control and continuous integration tools like Git/Stash, BitBucket, or Jenkins
2+ years of engineering team leadership or management experience
Experience using customer feedback tools such as Quantum Metrics, Medalia, and Adobe Analytics
Deep understanding of microservices architecture and cloud-native technologies
Experience in configuring, supporting, and managing Rancher, Kubernetes, and/or Docker
Experience in Incident Management, Change Management, Infrastructure Support, and Problem Management concepts and processes
Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, including the ability to engage technical and non-technical stakeholders
Preferred Qualifications:
Expertise working in edge computing environments with a large number of remote facilities, managing observability for distributed, high-latency, or resource-constrained systems
Familiarity with chaos engineering principles to validate observability systems in edge environments
Experience with retail SRE organizations, including experience with store systems; Point of Sale (POS), handhelds, etc.
Expertise in cloud development and deployment technologies, including containerization and multi-cloud configurations
Demonstrated understanding of various API management and related platforms like Apigee, Vordel, Data Power
Education:
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field required
Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field preferred
Pay Range The typical pay range for this role is: $118,450.00 - $284,280.00. This range represents the base hourly rate or base annual full-time salary for all positions in the job grade within which this position falls.
