Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
### Why this Role is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
Reliability work is foundational in SaaS because customer experience is inseparable from uptime and network performance. This Operations Reliability Engineer role sits close to the real operational surface area of a cloud-delivered platform, where LAN and WAN, SD-WAN, VPN, wireless, and cloud connectivity directly affect service access for distributed users and internal teams. The emphasis on observability signals and event correlation reflects how modern SaaS operations are increasingly managed through telemetry and platform-level tooling rather than isolated device administration.
For a long-term SaaS career, the role offers exposure to the operational disciplines that scale with product adoption: incident response patterns, post-incident learning loops, and the mechanics of reducing alert noise so teams can focus on meaningful signals. The job’s linkage to AIOps and automation readiness also aligns with a broader shift in SaaS operations toward codified runbooks, validated remediation workflows, and data quality that supports smarter detection over time.

As an Operations Reliability Engineer with a specialization in Network Operations, you will play a key role in maintaining the reliability, stability, and performance of enterprise network services while contributing to the broader reliability operations function. You will support incident detection, troubleshooting, and remediation across multiple infrastructure domains, with a focus on LAN/WAN, SD-WAN, wireless, VPN, cloud connectivity, and site connectivity.
In addition to your network expertise, you will assist in improving monitoring accuracy, reducing alert noise, and enhancing the quality of operational data used across observability and AIOps platforms. You will participate in automation and AI-readiness efforts by documenting repeated issues, validating automated workflows, and providing operational insights that support engineered fixes and emerging self-healing capabilities.
This role blends advanced incident management with event correlation, automated remediation validation, and the application of network-specific knowledge to improve stability and reduce operational noise. You will collaborate across IT to enhance detection accuracy and contribute to long-term automation, observability, and AI-driven reliability initiatives supporting our global workforce.
Responsibilities:
General Reliability Operations
Resolve network and infrastructure incidents through hands-on troubleshooting and remediation, escalating complex issues when needed to senior analysts or engineering teams.
Monitor observability, AIOps, and event management platforms to identify anomalies, performance issues, and emerging incidents.
Perform incident triage and correlation to determine probable cause and appropriate routing for deeper investigation.
Validate automated remediation workflows and assist in identifying repeated manual tasks that could be automated.
Participate in early-stage automation and AI-readiness activities by documenting remediation steps, key patterns, and operational edge cases.
Reduce alert noise by suggesting adjustments to thresholds, suppression logic, or detection rules.
Support post-incident reviews by providing relevant data, event timelines, and insights related to network behavior.
Collaborate with Cloud, Network, IAM, Messaging, and ServiceNow teams to support incident resolution and improve operational processes.
Assist with patching and vulnerability-remediation workflows by troubleshooting failures, validating remediation outcomes and providing manual patching or remediation when automation isn’t available.
Ensure accuracy of event data, alerts, and service mappings to support strong correlation within monitoring and CMDB systems.
Network SME Responsibilities
Troubleshoot and resolve network-related incidents across LAN, WAN, SD-WAN, wireless, VPN, cloud connectivity and branch/site connectivity environments.
Analyze telemetry and alerts from network monitoring platforms (SolarWinds, SD-WAN controllers, Zscaler, Meraki/Cisco tools) to determine service impact.
Support correlation of network events with dependencies across cloud applications, identity services, endpoints, and SaaS platforms.
Participate in validating network automation or configuration workflows, such as failover testing, resilience checks, or config pushes.
Assist in identifying network-related automation opportunities by documenting repeated failure modes and manual intervention steps.
Support Zscaler configuration troubleshooting, policy validation, and resolution of performance or routing issues.
Maintain DEX-based network monitoring dashboards and alerts, ensuring clear signals and detection of user-impacting issues.
Provide knowledge-sharing to team members and peers regarding common network troubleshooting patterns.
Participate in network readiness activities for office builds, expansions, and infrastructure changes by reviewing operational requirements and monitoring needs.
Engage vendors (Cisco TAC) when appropriate and drive issues to resolution
Maintain Catalyst 9000 (9300/9400/9500) platforms
Requirements:
Bachelor’s degree in an IT-related field or equivalent experience.
3+ years in network operations or network engineering roles.
Strong understanding of network technologies including routing, switching, wireless, SD-WAN, VPN, DNS, DHCP, and basic connectivity principles.
Hands-on experience with network monitoring and diagnostic tools (SolarWinds, Meraki/Cisco dashboards, Zscaler, SD-WAN controllers).
Hands-on experience with Cisco IOS-XE
Solid understanding of incident management, event correlation, and operational troubleshooting methodologies.
Experience collaborating with engineering teams and working within cross-functional operational environments.
Ability to interpret network telemetry and logs to identify symptoms, underlying issues, and potential root causes.
Strong written and verbal communication skills to explain findings to both technical and non-technical teams.
Motivated to develop deeper skills in automation, AIOps, and proactive reliability engineering.
Familiarity with scripting or automation concepts is a plus and supports future career progression.
Interest in learning automated remediation patterns, predictive alerting concepts, and modern observability practices.
