Design and implement zero-downtime deployments, rollback mechanisms and disaster-recovery strategies that keep our platform available around the clock.
Evolve our LGTM stack (Loki, Grafana, Tempo, Mimir) to give every team the visibility they need - and use it to define and optimize our SLOs.

Promote CI/CD best practices, incident management, post-mortems and developer experience across the entire engineering organization.
