## Description

Synopsys software engineers are key enablers in the world of Electronic Design Automation (EDA), developing and maintaining software used in chip design, verification and manufacturing.

You have spent a decade building systems that need to stay up, not just run, actually stay up, under production load with real users depending on them.

At Synopsys, you will build the observability backbone that keeps our Cloud and on-prem production systems visible, reliable, and ready for what comes next.

**What You'll Be Doing**

- Design, build, and own the SRE and Observability platform that monitors production systems across on-prem and Azure Cloud environments, giving engineering and operations teams a real-time, holistic view of system health

- Partner with product, infrastructure, and application teams to define SLAs, SLIs, SLOs, error budgets, and KPIs that actually matter, then instrument systems to track them

- Automate deployment and configuration of monitoring tools using Terraform, Ansible, Bash, and Python to eliminate manual toil and reduce configuration drift

- Build custom scripts and tooling to extend observability capabilities, including proactive remediation workflows and self-healing automation that catches issues before they become incidents

- Lead root cause analysis on production incidents, write detailed postmortems for stakeholders, and drive systemic fixes that prevent recurrence

- Mentor junior SREs and Cloud Operations engineers, providing technical guidance on Linux systems, observability tooling, and SRE best practices

- Evaluate, test, and integrate new observability and reliability tools and technologies, including AI-assisted monitoring, copilots, and emerging patterns like MCP and RAG

**The Impact You Will Have**

- Production systems across Synopsys Cloud will be more visible, more reliable, and easier to debug because of the observability platform you build

- Engineering teams will spend less time firefighting and more time building because your automation catches problems early and fixes them without human intervention

- Incident response times will drop because the right data will be surfaced at the right time, and teams will know what to look at first

- SRE practices will become embedded across the organization as you define KPIs, error budgets, and reliability standards that other teams adopt

- Junior engineers will grow faster because you will teach them how to think about reliability, not just react to alerts

- The Cloud Operations team will scale more effectively because repeatable, automated workflows replace one-off manual fixes

- Stakeholders will have confidence in production stability because postmortems and reliability metrics will be clear, honest, and actionable

**What You'll Need**

- 10+ years of hands-on experience in software development, system administration, or site reliability engineering with a focus on production systems

- Deep expertise in Linux OS internals, networking, and NFS technologies, you should be able to troubleshoot kernel-level issues and performance bottlenecks

- Strong experience with Elasticsearch for log aggregation and search, this is non-negotiable for the role

- Solid programming and scripting skills in Bash and Python, with proven ability to build automation that runs in production

- Hands-on experience with infrastructure as code using Terraform and configuration management using Ansible

- Expertise in at least one major cloud platform, Azure strongly preferred, AWS or GCP also relevant

- Experience working with EDA workloads and job schedulers like Grid Engine, LSF, or SLURM in production environments, experience with Prometheus and Grafana is a strong plus, familiarity with Docker, Swarm, or Kubernetes is helpful but not required

**Rewards and Benefits**

- Comprehensive medical and healthcare plans that work for you and your family

- In addition to company holidays, we have ETO and FTO Programs

- Maternity and paternity leave, parenting resources, adoption and surrogacy assistance, and more

- Purchase Synopsys common stock at a 15% discount, with a 24-month look-back

- Save for your future with our retirement plans that vary by region and country

- Competitive salaries
