  • Help discover correlations between customer experience and performance indicators to determine what is noticeable by customers, and suggest and implement improvements based on findings
  • Help us to develop SLI’s, SLO’s, and SLA’s that are impactful as they relate to our customer’s experience
  • Help triage outages and issues across multiple teams, services, and codebases as they arise, leading root cause analysis and creating stories to prevent and/or detect those issues in the future
  • Serve as technical lead for deep dives to identify solutions to prevent future incidents
  • Introduce chaos engineering, promoting experimentation in production to discover and remediate systemic weaknesses and improve performance and reliability

  • Experience implementing, maintaining, and troubleshooting continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) tooling
  • Experience with implementing improvements in areas such as maintainability, scalability, availability, extensibility and security
  • Ability to work with many teams across disciplines (cloud, platform, development, qa, and security) to resolve issues as they arise and implement improvements
  • Experience with distributed tracing, diagnostic tooling, application performance monitoring, and the golden signals
