Engineering$168k–$245k/yrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Key info: - Application window closing date: 09/29/2026 (maybe metadata, could be short p) - Hybrid position requiring approx 2 days per week on-site at Cisco offices in either San Francisco, San Jose, or New York City. - Team description: Splunk Agent Resilience team... (About the role) - As a Senior SRE: you will build, operate, improve reliability... (Responsibilities) - Your Impact bullet list (list of duties) - Minimum Qualifications (list) - Preferred Qualifications (list) - Why Cisco? (maybe About the company, but not required sections) - Message to applicants: salary range, benefits, etc. (Pay, Benefits, Schedule maybe) - Additional details: U.S. employees offered benefits list, paid time off details, etc. We need sections: About the role (maybe the team description), Responsibilities (Your Impact bullet list), Requirements (maybe Minimum Qualifications?), Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications?), Skills (maybe combine?), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to decide which sections to include based on content. We have: - About the role: description of team and role purpose. Could be first paragraph: "The Splunk Agent Resilience team is defining the future of AI resilience..." plus maybe hybrid info. - Responsibilities: bullet list under "Your Impact". Those are duties. - Requirements: Minimum Qualifications (7+ years experience etc.) - Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications list. - Skills: maybe combine some skills from preferred? Could list scripting, IaC, etc. But we might not need separate Skills if we already have Requirements and Qualifications. However instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But they ask to use headings for those specific names if content exists. We have both Minimum and Preferred, so we can have Requirements (minimum) and Qualifications (preferred). Skills maybe not needed if covered. - Benefits: list of benefits (medical, dental, vision, 401k, parental leave, disability, life insurance, stock units, paid time off details). That's substantive. - Pay: salary range details (starting salary range $167,700 to $245,200, plus location-specific ranges). That's substantive. - Schedule: hybrid position requiring approx 2 days per week on-site at Cisco offices in either SF, SJ, NYC. That's schedule info. Thus we will include all sections. We must not include application instructions, boilerplate like EEO, etc. Remove "Message to applicants applying to work in the U.S. and/or Canada:" but we can keep salary and benefits info. The paragraph about salary range is okay. The part about "U.S. employees are offered benefits..." we keep under Benefits. The part about paid time off details also under Benefits. We need to format lists with
  • . For prose use

    . We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for Senior Site Reliability Engineer. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's craft:

    About the role

    The Splunk Agent Resilience team is defining the future of AI resilience. Our team provides scalable, cost-effective evaluation and guardrails that ensure AI agents behave as intended, improving reliability and reducing risks. This unified approach empowers our customers to confidently deploy and manage AI-powered applications with enhanced observability and control. As a Senior Site Reliability Engineer (SRE), you will build, operate, and continuously improve the reliability, scalability, and operational excellence of Splunk Agent Observability's deployment platform and production infrastructure. You will own the operational backbone supporting both cloud and air-gapped customer deployments, develop automation to improve operational efficiency, and partner closely with engineering teams to deliver reliable, secure, and scalable systems.

    This is a Hybrid position requiring approximately 2 days per week on-site at Cisco offices in either San Francisco, San Jose, or New York City. The application window is expected to close on 09/29/2026.

    But schedule and application date maybe better under Schedule section. However we already have schedule info in About role; but we could move schedule to its own section. The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real specific content. We have schedule content: hybrid 2 days per week on-site at Cisco offices in SF, SJ, NYC. Also application window closing date is metadata; could be placed in a short p under About role or separate? Probably better to keep schedule section separate, and put application date maybe in a short p under About role or drop? The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. Application window date is minor metadata; we can fold into a short p under About role or maybe under Schedule? I'd put it in About role as a short p. Thus About role: team description + role description + hybrid schedule? Actually schedule is separate. Let's keep About role focusing on team and role purpose. Then Schedule section for hybrid details and maybe application date. Let's decide: About the role: team description and role purpose (first two paragraphs). Not include hybrid. Responsibilities: Your Impact bullet list. Requirements: Minimum Qualifications bullet list. Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications bullet list. Skills: maybe we can omit if covered; but we could combine some skills from preferred into Skills? However we already have Requirements and Qualifications; Skills may be thin. Better to omit Skills section. Benefits: list of benefits and paid time off. Pay: salary range details. Schedule: hybrid on-site requirement and maybe application window. Let's extract details. Responsibilities bullet list from "Your Impact": - Operate and improve Kubernetes-based production infrastructure and deployment systems - Own customer deployments across cloud and air-gapped environments, including installation, upgrades, troubleshooting, and lifecycle management - Build and improve deployment observability, monitoring, logging, and alerting - Improve reliability, scalability, and operational efficiency through automation and performance optimization - Participate in production incident response, root cause analysis, and reliability improvements - Tune infrastructure components—including databases and services—to improve performance and resilience - Design and develop internal tooling using Python and/or Go - Debug complex production issues spanning Kubernetes, networking, storage, and application layers - Manage infrastructure using Terraform or similar Infrastructure as Code tools - Collaborate with software engineers and customers to design secure, scalable, and reliable deployment architectures We'll put each as

Minimum Qualifications: - 7+ years’ experience with a Bachelor's degree or 4+ yrs with a Masters or 1 year with a PhD, or equivalent related experience; Experience to include at least 4 years in Site Reliability Engineering, Platform / Cloud / Infrastructure Engineering, or related fields - 3+ years’ operating Kubernetes in production; experience with Helm - Experience building and maintaining CI/CD platforms and deployment automation - Experience working with AWS, GCP, or similar cloud platforms We could split into separate items but it's okay as one paragraph? Better to list each as separate
