- Define and implement SLOs, SLIs, and Error Budgets for critical services. Enhance our monitoring, logging, and tracing systems to provide comprehensive visibility into system health.
- Set the technical direction and best practices for the entire SRE and engineering organization. Mentor mid-level and senior engineers on design patterns, operational rigor, and reliability principles.
We're looking for a leader and a deep technical expert with a proven track record of solving the hardest scaling and reliability challenges.
