About the role:
As a Site Reliability Engineer, you are a skilled practitioner with a solid command of the technology stacks within your domain and broad familiarity with tooling across the wider platform and infrastructure environment. You own and deliver infrastructure and automation workstreams end-to-end with increasing autonomy, taking responsibility for moderately complex projects and exercising sound judgment in selecting methods and approaches.
You own components of the shared platform’s reliability stack, implementing monitoring, alerting, and automation that ensure product teams can deploy and operate with confidence. You design operational solutions with feedback loops built in, deploy medium-to-large infrastructure components via automation, and act as a primary resource for supporting and operating existing platform systems. You implement and monitor SLIs that measure the shared platform’s reliability from the customer’s perspective, and you participate in production readiness reviews for new services deploying to the platform.
You automate operational tasks to reduce toil, targeting measurable reductions in manual intervention across your owned areas. You contribute to the platform’s observability stack, ensuring meaningful alerting that minimizes noise and false positives, and you support capacity planning by monitoring resource utilization trends and flagging scaling needs. You diagnose and resolve infrastructure issues efficiently, improving system performance and reliability, and you write thorough post-mortems including root cause analysis and preventative actions.
You work cross-functionally with product, QA, and engineering teams to deliver well-rounded solutions, and you begin mentoring associate engineers and contributing to team best practices. You are an active part of the incident management process, including on-call rotation, building the production judgment and operational discipline needed to progress toward senior technical leadership.
