Own incident management end-to-end, driving systemic fixes and long-term reliability improvements beyond immediate response

Lead architecture and design reviews to ensure systems meet scalability, reliability, and cost efficiency goals

Champion automation and modernization, including AI-driven reliability improvements

Establish and enforce code quality and review standards

Lead cross-functional initiatives and align engineering with product priorities

Mentor senior engineers and act as a technical leader across teams

What You Bring

6+ years leading delivery of complex, distributed systems or SaaS platforms

Proven track record improving SLOs, MTTR, and system reliability at scale

Proficiency in languages like Python, Java, C++, or JavaScript

Deep experience with:

Infrastructure as Code and cloud platforms

Disaster recovery, resilience, and security best practices

Strong leadership skills with experience mentoring senior engineers and influencing cross-team decisions
