Senior Associate- Application Remediation SRE (Remote, any state, US)
Requirements and responsibilities
Readable role content extracted into sections for faster review.
What You'll Do:
- Confirm application ownership, business criticality, production impact, testing windows, release constraints, and sign-off model.
- Coordinate with CIO teams, DevOps, SREs, application owners, and business stakeholders to sequence remediation safely.
- Identify application-level blockers that could delay AWS remediation, EOL modernization, vulnerability remediation, or production patching.
- Escalate readiness gaps when testing, code changes, compatibility review, reboot approvals, or production sign-off threaten remediation timelines.
What You'll Do:
- Support AWS remediation by validating application impact, workload criticality, reboot windows, SRE coordination, dependencies, and post-patch sign-off.
- Support EOL OS remediation through code/configuration changes, dependency remediation, application installation logic, build readiness, UAT, containerization decisions, and legacy decommission sign-off.
- Support vulnerability remediation through library upgrades, middleware compatibility validation, code fixes, configuration changes, certificate/runtime updates, and confirmation that remediation does not break business functionality.
- Partner with platform teams on EKS readiness, EC2 hardened AMI migration, CI/CD readiness, and deployment validation.
Regression Automation & Evidence
- Define smoke tests, service checks, API checks, login checks, critical business transaction validation, and pass/fail criteria.
- Partner with DevOps and CIO teams to automate regression testing through CI/CD, New Relic monitors, synthetics, service dashboards, or other approved tooling.
- Shift application validation from full manual testing to automated testing with exception-based review.
- Attach automated test results, logs, monitoring evidence, defects, and sign-off records to change or vulnerability closure records.
Exception & Risk Support
- Provide business impact statements, compensating controls, risk decisions, remediation commitments, and time-bound exception inputs when application remediation cannot be completed on schedule.
- Coordinate production readiness reviews and post-deployment issue triage for application-impacting patch or modernization events.
Authority and Scope
- Require application owners to confirm criticality, validation windows, dependencies, and production sign-off expectations.
- Escalate application readiness, testing, code/configuration, or sign-off delays that block remediation.
- Define minimum validation evidence required from application teams for patch and vulnerability closure.
Authority and Scope
- Application validation time is reduced through smoke-test automation and exception-based review.
- Critical apps have documented owners, test packs, pass/fail criteria, and validation windows.
- Code, dependency, configuration, certificate, runtime, and middleware remediation blockers are addressed within target timelines.
- AWS remediation, EOL modernization, and vulnerability remediation receive timely application sign-off.
- Application evidence supports audit-ready closure.
What You'll Bring:
- 7+ years in application support, SRE, DevOps, application engineering, production support, or application remediation leadership.
- Strong understanding of application dependencies, APIs, databases, middleware, certificates, runtimes, libraries, CI/CD pipelines, and deployment workflows.
- Experience with New Relic, synthetic monitoring, service dashboards, API testing, smoke testing, regression automation, or observability tooling.
- Ability to coordinate across CIO application teams, DevOps, infrastructure, security, business stakeholders, and vendors.
Nice to haves
- Experience with EOL modernization, cloud migration, containerization, EKS, Terraform, or CI/CD modernization.
- Experience with application security remediation, SCA, SAST/DAST findings, or library vulnerability remediation.
- SRE, DevOps, cloud, application security, or ITIL certifications.
