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 standardsincluding 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

• Bachelors or Masters 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 SMEadministration architecture upgrades and performance tuning of Enterprise Manager Server and Agents.
