• 5+ years of experiencein an SRE, Production Engineering, or similar role operating business-critical, high-traffic services in production.
• Strong coding skills in one or more languages such as Python, Go, or Java, with a focus on automating solutions instead of relying on manual operations.

• Deep understanding of large-scale distributed systems,including common failure modes, performance bottlenecks, and how to design for resilience and graceful degradation.
• Track record of proactively identifying reliability risks and gapsthrough metrics, incidents, architecture reviews, or resilience testing—and implementing pragmatic, scalable solutions to mitigate them.
• Strong observability and performance tuning skills: you can use metrics, logs, and traces to debug issues in complex systems, and you’re comfortable profiling and optimizing services to meet latency, availability, or efficiency goals.
• Experience with incident management and response: you can navigate ambiguous, high-pressure production issues, drive coordinated response, and follow through with durable improvements.
• Strong collaboration and influence skills: you communicate clearly, build trust with partner teams, and can guide engineering teams toward better reliability practices without relying on authority.
• Ability to balance reliability, velocity, and cost: you’re comfortable making and explaining tradeoffs, and using data (SLOs, error budgets, performance metrics) to guide decision-making.
• Growth mindset and curiosity: you are eager to learn, comfortable challenging assumptions (including your own), and motivated by continuous improvement of systems, processes, and yourself.
• Embraces agency: you thrive when given a loosely defined goal by coming up with work to accomplish the goal while farming for dissent and feedback from the team and our stakeholders
