About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own and evolve our SLI/SLO and error-budget frameworks, and use them to influence prioritization and product decisions
Lead incident response, drive postmortems, and turn findings into systemic fixes rather than one-off patches
Build and maintain observability across metrics, logs, and traces (Datadog), improving signal and reducing alert fatigue
Design and operate resilient, scalable infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform)
Manage production Kubernetes and container workloads, including capacity planning and cloud-cost optimization
Own CI/CD pipelines and safe deployment strategies (canary, progressive rollout, fast rollback)
Own the security controls that live inside the delivery pipeline — integrating and tuning SAST, DAST, and SCA scanning (for example, in GitHub Actions) so issues surface while code is still in review
Implement and maintain policy-as-code (for example, OPA/Rego, Kyverno, or Conftest) to block unsafe infrastructure and Kubernetes changes at admission time
Drive vulnerability triage and remediation SLAs for pipeline- and infrastructure-level findings, prioritizing by real risk
Partner with our Security Engineer and the broader Security & Reliability disciplines — you own security in the pipeline and collaborate on the rest, rather than duplicating that function
Participate in and improve the on-call rotation; build the runbooks and automation that make on-call sustainable
Coach team members and engineers across the org on reliability patterns and operational best practices

Requirements

What you’ll need

5+ years in site reliability, platform, or infrastructure engineering
Strong programming skills for automation and tooling (Go, Python, Typescript or similar)
Deep, hands-on experience with a major cloud platform (AWS is a plus), Kubernetes, and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform is a plus)
Proven track record leading incident response and building SLO-driven reliability practices
Working fluency with observability tooling (Datadog is a plus)
Practical experience integrating security into CI/CD pipelines — SAST/DAST/SCA tooling, dependency scanning, or policy-as-code
Strong understanding of cloud security fundamentals (identity/IAM, least-privilege patterns, policy/guardrails, secrets management)
The judgment and communication skills to raise a security or reliability finding with a senior engineer and land it as a shared problem to solve, not a fight to win
Experience with policy-as-code frameworks (especially Kyverno, but tools like OPA/Rego or Conftest are also relevant) enforced at admission time is a plus
Exposure to regulated or compliance-driven environments (SOC 2, PCI DSS, HIPAA) is a plus
Chaos engineering or game-day experience is a plus
Experience supporting B2C/mobile backend environments with high traffic, rapid iteration, and strong reliability needs is a plus
