Lead efforts to improve system reliability, scalability, and performance across critical services
Define and implement SLIs/SLOs and error budgets, and use them to guide engineering priorities
Design and develop observability systems (metrics, logging, tracing, alerting) that produce actionable alerts and data with minimal noise
Lead complex incident response, acting as incident commander when needed
Conduct postmortems focused on systemic causes rather than individual fault, and ensure corrective actions from those reviews are completed.
Identify and eliminate toil through automation, tooling, and improved workflows
Partner with product and platform teams on architecture decisions, production readiness, and designing systems that recover from failure
Build reusable systems and “paved roads” that make it easier for teams to operate their services reliably
Mentor other engineers and raise the overall operational maturity of the organization

Requirements

6 - 10+ years of experience in SRE, infrastructure, or backend systems engineering
Demonstrated experience of owning reliability outcomes for complex, distributed systems
Strong experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and production-scale systems
Deep understanding of observability, incident management, and system performance
Proficiency in at least one programming language (e.g., Go, Python, Java) with a focus on automation and tooling
Able to change how other teams work without having managerial authority over them
Strong competency in making clear decisions during incidents by following a defined process without reacting emotionally.
