Monitor and respond to system alerts and incidents using Grafana and Prometheus, ensuring high availability and a secure environment for our users
Collaborate with developers to ensure new features and services are designed with scalability and reliability in mind
Troubleshoot and resolve complex issues related to our infrastructure, networking, and the sandbox environment
Participate in an on-call rotation to support our production systems
Define and track SLIs/SLOs, manage error budgets, and proactively monitor distributed systems with logging and tracing
Automate deployments, scaling, provisioning, and recovery tasks to reduce toil and build self-healing systems
Lead incident response, conduct root-cause analysis, and facilitate blameless post-mortems to drive continual improvement
Collaborate cross-functionally with product, engineering, and developer relations to ensure reliable releases and an outstanding developer experience
Plan for capacity growth, forecast system usage, and contribute to safe release and change management processes

A solid understanding of networking, security, and Linux systems administration
Experience designing, scaling, and maintaining distributed systems (backend platforms, APIs, or front-end infrastructure)
Proficiency in implementing observability frameworks (metrics, logging, tracing) and aligning reliability goals with developer velocity
Hands-on experience managing incidents, running on-call operations, and producing actionable post-mortems
Ability to mentor engineers and influence reliability practices across teams, especially for front-end infrastructure and performance
Bonus Points
Experience with chaos engineering techniques, front-end observability tools (e.g., Sentry, RUM, synthetic monitoring), or building CI/CD pipelines for front-end delivery
