- Provide mentorship and technical leadership across the SRE and engineering teams.
- Own high-priority application incident escalations, performing deep technical analysis and restoration within defined SLOs, while continuously improving detection and response mechanisms.
- Engineer solutions to enhance the availability, latency, and performance of production services—automating manual processes to eliminate toil and scale operational efficiency.
