What you will do
OpenBlue from Johnson Controls is a cyber-secured smart building ecosystem that unifies data, AI, and automation to transform how buildings perform. By connecting systems that have historically stood apart and applying award-winning analytics, we give customers real-time visibility, predictive insight, and automated action across the entire building lifecycle. None of that reaches a customer without the platform underneath it. Our data platform, our enterprise SaaS portfolio, and OpenBlue Airwall run continuously for enterprise, public sector, and government customers, in environments where an outage or a data integrity problem carries real operational consequence for the buildings and the people inside them. Johnson Controls is seeking a Staff Site Reliability Engineer. You will be the senior technical owner of escalated production problems, capable of debugging a failure across application code, data pipelines, cloud services, and network paths, and driving it through to permanent corrective action rather than a restart and a hopeful note in the ticket. You will also plan and execute the infrastructure work that keeps those platforms healthy, with Terraform as your native language and change safety as your standing constraint. You will be a core team member of our engineering department, and participate in the on-call rotation, and occasionally join customer conversations when the severity of an issue warrants an engineer in the room. This role is based in Canada. We support Canadian government customers and commercial customers with Canadian data residency requirements, and this position works directly with those systems and their data. How you will do it Application reliability and L3 escalation Serve as the senior escalation owner for production issues across the OpenBlue Data Platform, our enterprise SaaS products, and Airwall Debug complex, cross layer failures spanning application code, data pipelines, cloud infrastructure, and network paths Lead root cause analysis and drive both interim and permanent corrective action to closure with the owning engineering teams, including the code or configuration change that prevents recurrence Turn recurring escalations into engineering work by feeding defect patterns, reliability gaps, and supportability problems back into the product backlog Improve detection ahead of the customer by strengthening instrumentation, monitors, dashboards, and runbooks in Datadog and Grafana Participate in the on-call rotation and act as a senior technical lead during major incidents Represent Engineering directly with customers during high severity incidents and post incident reviews when the situation calls for it Infrastructure and platform engineering Plan and execute infrastructure upgrades, migrations, and platform changes across Azure and AWS with minimal customer disruption Own infrastructure as code in Terraform, including module design, state management, and drift remediation Operate and improve Kubernetes workloads across capacity, autoscaling, resource limits, and deployment reliability Raise release and
