What impact will you make in this role

As an SRE Engineer, you will be the hands-on subject matter expert (SME) responsible for the design, implementation, optimization, and reliability of the enterprise workload automation estate. You will own the Control-M platform end to end - ensuring that mission-critical batch schedules across infrastructure and application domains run reliably, recover gracefully, and meet stringent operational resilience and regulatory standards.

This is an individual contributor and deep hands-on role.

You will bring authoritative expertise in Control-M and batch scheduling products, partnering closely with application, infrastructure, cloud, and operations teams to embed reliability, automation, and observability into every workflow. You will act as the highest escalation point for complex scheduling incidents and drive the modernization of the batch estate toward self-healing, cloud-native, and event-driven automation.

What will you do as a SRE Engineer (Control-M)

Platform Engineering & Architecture

Architect, deploy, and maintain enterprise Control-M / BMC Helix Control-M environments (Enterprise Manager, Server, Agents, and the high-availability/failover topology) aligned with operational resilience mandates such as MAS TRM, DORA, and APRA CPS 230.
Design scalable, resilient batch scheduling patterns and reusable job templates, calendars, and folder structures that standardize how workloads are onboarded across the enterprise.
Lead platform upgrades, patching, version migrations, and high-availability/disaster-recovery configurations with minimal disruption to production schedules.
Act as the Control-M SME for architecture reviews, capacity planning, and performance tuning of the scheduling estate.
Define and enforce job-definition, naming, and governance standards—including retention, audit logging, and change control for the batch environment.

Reliability Engineering & Automation

Champion SRE frameworks and reliability practices for mission-critical batch workloads, defining SLAs, error budgets, and service-health indicators for scheduled jobs.
Design and automate self-healing workflows, intelligent job recovery, and auto-remediation using Control-M capabilities together with Python, Shell, Ansible, and Terraform.
Integrate Control-M with CI/CD pipelines using Jobs-as-Code (Control-M Automation API / ctm CLI) to enable version-controlled, auditable, and automated deployment of job definitions.
Reduce operational toil by replacing manual interventions with automated, observable, and repeatable scheduling workflows.
Conduct resilience, failover, and capacity testing aligned with business continuity and disaster-recovery standards.

Advanced Troubleshooting & Incident Management

Serve as the highest escalation point for complex batch and scheduling incidents, performing deep-dive root cause analysis across job dependencies, infrastructure, and integrated applications.
Drive blameless post-incident reviews and codify lessons learned into automation, monitoring, and runbook improvements.
Proactively identify and resolve SLA breaches, long-running jobs, and dependency bottlenecks before they impact downstream business processes.

Integration, Observability & Operational Excellence

Integrate Control-M with ITSM/incident management (e.g., ServiceNow), monitoring, and AIOps platforms to enable predictive alerting and anomaly detection on batch workloads.
Engineer batch scheduling for hybrid and cloud-native workloads across AWS and Azure, orchestrating Managed File Transfer (MFT), data pipelines, ETL/ELT, and application workflows.
Develop and maintain executive dashboards and reports showcasing batch availability, SLA adherence, job-failure trends, and operational-risk indicators.
Drive measurable reduction in incident recurrence, MTTR, and manual intervention through automation-led observability.

Collaboration, Mentorship & Innovation

Partner with application, infrastructure, cloud, DevOps, and operations teams to onboard new workloads and embed reliability principles into the delivery lifecycle
Mentor junior engineers and operations staff on Control-M best practices, troubleshooting, and automation; create documentation, runbooks, and training materials.
Evaluate emerging workload-automation and orchestration technologies (e.g., cloud-native schedulers, Apache Airflow, event-driven orchestration) to modernize the batch estate.

What makes you a successful candidate

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related discipline.
6-9+ years of experience in IT operations, infrastructure, or SRE roles, with at least 7+ years specializing hands-on in Control-M / batch scheduling engineering, ideally in financial or other regulated environments.
Deep, hands-on expertise as a Control-M SME—administration, architecture, upgrades, and performance tuning of Enterprise Manager, Server, and Agents. Proven hands-on expertise in: – Scheduling & Workload Automation: Control-M / BMC Helix Control-M (must), Control-M Automation API (Jobs-as-Code), MFT, Managed File Transfer, and exposure to alternatives such as Autosys, TWS/IWS, or Apache Airflow. – Automation / IaC: Python, Shell scripting, Ansible, Terraform, and CI/CD tooling (Git, Jenkins, Azure DevOps). – Operating Systems & Databases: Strong Linux/Unix and Windows administration; working knowledge of Oracle, SQL Server, or PostgreSQL underpinning the scheduling estate. – Cloud & Integration: AWS and Azure batch/orchestration services, ServiceNow, and monitoring/observability tooling (e.g., Datadog, Splunk).
Deep understanding of SRE principles, service-health modelling, error budgets, SLA management, and auto-remediation design for batch workloads.
Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills, with the ability to perform deep-dive investigations across complex job dependencies and develop long-term preventive solutions.
Solid understanding of job-dependency design, calendars, cyclic and event-driven scheduling, SLA/critical-path management, and high-availability/disaster-recovery configurations.
Familiarity with financial-sector operational resilience frameworks, regulatory compliance, change governance, and audit requirements.
Working understanding of security foundations—IAM, role-based access control, credential management, and data protection—as applied to the scheduling platform.
Soft skills & mindset: Systems thinking with the ability to connect scheduling, infrastructure, and application workflows; ownership and accountability for production stability; and strong collaboration across operations, application, and engineering teams.
Preferred Certifications
BMC Certified Associate/Professional: Control-M (Administrator / Developer)
Terraform / Ansible / Python Certified Expert
AWS Certified DevOps Engineer / Azure DevOps Expert
SRE Foundation / Practitioner (DevOps Institute)
ITIL v4 Managing Professional
