📋 Description

• Lead the technical architecture and execution of our landmark migration from a legacy GCP environment to a modern, scalable infrastructure on AWS EKS. • Architect, design, and drive our core infrastructure, defining the patterns for Terraform and GitOps that the rest of the organization will follow. • Champion and drive our SLO-driven culture, setting the strategy for how we define, measure, and implement SLOs for critical user journeys, guided by the four Golden Signals (Latency, Traffic, Errors, and Saturation). • Lead the design and development of critical tooling and automation in Node.js and Go to solve entire classes of problems for our developers. • Lead the architectural evolution of our in-house, K6-based load testing platform, ensuring it can scale to meet future product demands. • Act as a primary subject matter expert for our Istio service mesh, driving its architecture, adoption, and optimization. • Spearhead and own high-priority initiatives, including the development of agentic workflows and intelligent automation for SRE domains like proactive scaling and automated remediation. • Act as a technical leader by participating in our blameless on-call rotation, mentoring other engineers through complex incidents and ensuring all post-mortems lead to systemic, long-term improvements.
