Responsibilities

• Contribute to the observability strategy and roadmap, partnering with multiple teams to align with business priorities and engineering goals.
• Design and enhance scalable observability solutions that provide actionable insights into system health, performance, and user experience.
• Help establish and promote best practices for monitoring, alerting, incident management, and postmortems across teams.
• Support operational excellence by improving incident response processes, on-call practices, and post-incident reviews, focusing on continuous improvement.
• Collaborate on cross-team initiatives to improve system reliability, identifying risks and contributing to their resolution.
• Apply automation and AI-assisted workflows to improve root cause analysis and reduce operational toil.
• Work with engineering and product stakeholders to surface observability insights that inform technical decisions and prioritization.
• Analyze system and user signals to help detect, prevent, and mitigate reliability issues.
• Contribute to optimizing observability platforms for performance, scalability, and cost-efficiency.
• Mentor peers and contribute to raising observability and reliability standards within the team.

Requirements

• Solid hands-on experience in observability engineering, SRE, platform engineering, or related roles, with impact across team-level systems.
• Strong expertise in monitoring and observability practices, with hands-on experience using tools such as Datadog.
• Experience contributing to observability or reliability initiatives across teams or services.
• Proficiency with Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure (e.g. AWS), and infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform.
• Ability to influence technical decisions within and across teams, collaborating effectively with a range of stakeholders.
• Good understanding of distributed systems principles (e.g. consistency, availability, partition tolerance) and practical trade-offs.
• Experience defining and implementing SLOs, SLIs, and alerting strategies, including an understanding of user-impacting metrics.
• Strong software engineering fundamentals, with proficiency in at least one modern programming language (e.g. Go, Java, Python, or TypeScript), and experience building tooling, automation, and scalable systems.
• Experience improving systems through automation, helping reduce operational toil and recurring issues.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to interpret technical signals and relate them to system performance and reliability.
