- Ensure learnings translate into engineering improvements and automation
Automation & Reliability Engineering
- Identify opportunities to:

- Strong background in cloud environments (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform)
- Hands-on experience with observability tools (Splunk, AppDynamics, Prometheus, etc.)
- Experience in incident management and production operations at scale
- Ability to operate effectively in high-pressure and complex enterprise environments
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience driving organizational transformation (not just technical implementation)
- Strong understanding of CI/CD, DevOps, and automation practices
- Experience working in regulated or large enterprise environments
- Familiarity with AIOps or advanced automation strategies
Key Success Indicators
- Increased adoption of SLOs and reliability standards
- Reduction in high-severity incidents over time
