Principal Technical Architect, Site Reliability Engineering

You will be responsible for building a purposeful, proactive, and sustainable approach to reliability on a foundation of SRE principles. You will partner with multiple support teams, architects, developers, and other stakeholders to develop common tools and guidance and drive adoption of key reliability engineering practices in support of large-scale and mission-critical services. Through your deep SRE knowledge and history of implementation, you will have open, candid conversations with senior leaders and engineers and play a pivotal role in establishing a foundational SRE practice.
