Software Reliability Engineer - Warehouse Management Systems

The Software Reliability Engineer (SRE) will play a critical role in ensuring that our Warehouse Management Software (WMS) runs seamlessly across both automated and manual facilities. This role focuses on investigating, diagnosing, and resolving operational software issues that impact warehouse performance—freeing developers to focus on new features and ensuring WMS never disrupts day-to-day operations. Please note: We are unable to sponsor work authorization now or in the future for this role.  Roles and Responsibilities   1. Operational Issue Investigation and Quick Resolution   Monitor and respond to operational issues affecting WMS functions (e.g., receiving, shipping, inventory).   Analyze system logs, error reports, and transaction flows to   identify   anomalies or failures.   Work closely with Level 1 support and warehouse operation teams to understand incident symptoms and timelines.   Execute quick resolutions by using extended user rights, database interventions, or WMS configuration changes.   2. Code-Level Debugging   Debug application code, workflows, customizations, and interfaces to   identify   bugs or performance bottlenecks.   Collaborate with   WMS   QA team to reproduce issues in test environments and trace through application workflows to isolate root causes.   Collaborate with Product/Development teams to propose, implement, and test code fixes.   3. Real-Time System Monitoring   Use tools like Datadog or internal diagnostics to   monitor   WMS behavior.   Proactively set up or   refine   alerts for failure patterns (e.g., inventory mismatches, interface timeouts , RF   disconnects).   Improve observability by suggesting/ implement   better logging practices and metric coverage.   4. Interface Troubleshooting   Investigate communication failures between WMS and other Products (e.g., LinOS, Link, EDI,   Easymetrics ).   Troubleshoot integration issues between the WMS and external systems (e.g., DevOps,   DCOps ).   Provide software-side support during integration testing, mainly remote and on-site by occasion.   5. Incident Management & Escalation   Participate in on-call rotations or site support shifts for time-sensitive incidents.   Coordinate with   operations, IT, and engineering during critical events to ensure fast resolution.   Document incidents thoroughly, including root causes, fixes, and follow-up actions.   6. Post-Incident Review & Continuous Improvement   Contribute to postmortem analysis for high-impact incidents.   Recommend and implement configuration changes or process improvements to prevent repeated issues.   Update or create playbooks and troubleshooting guides for known WMS issues.   7. Internal Tooling and Automation   Develop scripts or queries (e.g., SQL) to streamline log analysis, system diagnostics, or data validation.   Propose internal utilities to detect edge-case failures or performance degradations early.   Support development of internal test tooling and simulations for recurring business scenarios.   8. Cross-Functional Collaboration   Work with Product/Development teams to escalate and fix production bugs.   Collaborate with QA teams to   validate   fixes or reproduce intermittent issues.   Partner with implementation teams to train staff on WMS behavior and provide escalation support.   #LI-Remote Why Lineage?
