📋 Description

• Take on SRE-shaped responsibilities such as monitoring, alerting, incident response, and performance tuning to keep our services reliable and scalable in production. • Manage infrastructure as code and deployment workflows across AWS and GCP, using Kubernetes and OpenTofu (Terraform) to ship changes safely. • Act as a senior voice in code review, expediting the PR process primarily across backend and infrastructure while also supporting the frontend where possible. • Partner with Customer Success to triage, prioritize, and resolve user-impacting issues, and relay that context back to the broader product and engineering teams. • Contribute a senior voice to architecture and systems design discussions, helping steer technical decisions in the right direction. • Champion high engineering quality through testing, code reviews, observability, and thoughtful operational practices. • Own the services you build, monitoring system health and responding to incidents with urgency.
