About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Build platform infrastructure – Design and implement self-service tools that let product teams deploy services without infrastructure tickets or manual provisioning.
Reduce operational toil – Identify repetitive manual work and build automation to eliminate it.
Visibility and observability – Implement monitoring, alerting, and dashboards that help teams sleep soundly knowing their services are healthy. Build systems that detect problems before users do, and make debugging production issues straightforward whether it's 3pm or 3am.
Participate in on-call rotation – Join the on-call rotation responding to infrastructure incidents. You'll work to reduce incident frequency through better automation and resilience patterns.
Scale infrastructure – Plan capacity, optimize performance, and ensure our platform handles growing traffic without degradation. You'll work on problems like reducing deployment times, improving resource utilization, and maintaining sub-100ms p99 latencies.
Collaborate across teams – Partner with security, product engineering, and SRE teams to understand needs and build solutions that work for everyone.
