• Identify and advocate for solutions to reduce friction in production service management, collaborating with infrastructure teams to enhance developer tools and practices.

• Facilitate and engage in Incident Reviews and participate in cross-functional squads to address complex reliability issues. Collaborate with Chaos Engineering on game day and disaster recovery exercises.

• Foster a culture of continuous learning and improvement, mentoring peers, and contributing to a collaborative work environment.

What you'll bring:

• Possess around 4 years of experience with distributed systems, with a knack for quickly understanding unfamiliar services and production patterns.

• Have prior experience facilitating Incident Reviews, root cause analysis, writing post-mortem documents for continuous improvement.

• A strong educator at heart, experienced in teaching others or creating developer-focused documentation.

• Good coding skills in languages relevant to our stack (e.g., PHP, Java, Python, Go), with a taste for automating manual processes to scale impact.

• Empathetic, collaborative, with excellent verbal and written communication skills, capable of working effectively in a remote setting across teams.

• Driven by challenges, eager to dive into new codebases and systems, with the determination to navigate and clarify ambiguity.
