Requirements

The group's mission is simple and critical: guarantee that the platform is always up and running. With hundreds of thousands of customers and continuous deployments happening daily, the platform faces constant pressure - and when things break, they are restored as fast as possible. The group is advancing agentic incident response and AI-SRE practices across three areas:

• Traffic shaping - tooling that lets service owners contain unusual usage patterns and traffic spikes that could destabilise the platform
• Observability - alerting when things misbehave, and accelerating inspection, troubleshooting and incident resolution
• Reliability engineering - tooling and practices that combine software engineering and DevOps expertise

As Group Lead you will:

• Own the mission and outcomes of the group - platform availability, incident response speed, and reducing the frequency of production incidents
• Identify bottlenecks across the platform and lead the group to solve them systematically, e.g. improving observability coverage and detection rates
• Work with the Group Tech Lead to define technical strategy and translate it into actionable scopes of work for each team
• Manage and develop Team Leaders, supporting their growth and ensuring cross-team alignment
• Understand the platform's architecture, usage patterns and product context deeply enough to identify the next set of problems worth solving
• Own and improve incident response practices - tooling, escalation paths, post-mortems and preventative mechanisms
