Responsibilities
- Lead solution discovery and delivery for reliability and infrastructure challenges that involve ambiguity, complexity, or broad scope, working autonomously and coordinating with other contributors as needed.
- Contribute to the platform's architecture, tooling, and roadmap, influencing team priorities and advocating for technical initiatives.
- Define and operate reliability practices for the platform, including SLOs/SLIs, error budgets, alerting, and observability, taking responsibility for the team's operational stance and using support and incident metrics to shape technical strategy.
- Resolve cross-team requests, identify systemic issues, and convert recurring problems into reusable fixes and runbooks rather than one-off answers.
- Work in an AI-native manner and operationalize AI for the team by using agentic workflows by default, building reusable prompts, skills, and tooling embedded in the codebase to enable faster and safer shipping, and designing agent-ready systems with clean interfaces and good observability to make AI-assisted changes easy to review, while establishing shared standards and domain-level guardrails such as secure-by-default patterns, CI protections, and AI-assisted review practices.
- Mentor less-senior engineers and provide timely, actionable feedback, and participate in hiring, onboarding, and RFC discussions.
- Collaborate with Security on platform hardening and threat mitigation, and contribute to capacity and cost-efficiency of the infrastructure.
- Participate in incident response and on-call rotations to rapidly resolve issues and maintain system reliability.
