📋 Description

• Improve the platform to prevent incidents — designing and driving adoption of guardrails, sensible defaults, and engineering standards that reduce the likelihood of failures across services • Build tooling that reduces time to mitigation when incidents occur, including contributing to our in-house product on AI-assisted incident response • Own the investigation and follow-through on load test findings — translating results into concrete reliability improvements across critical flows • Work across platform and product engineering teams as a technical influencer — participating in architecture and readiness reviews, coaching service owners, and driving adoption of scalable reliability practices • Identify recurring failure patterns and design platform-level fixes that prevent them from showing up again in a different service • Contribute to the team’s reliability syncs with product engineering, helping align on incident themes, critical-flow risks, and the next highest-leverage initiatives

🎯 Requirements

• 8+ years of software engineering experience, with significant time in platform, infrastructure, or SRE work • Demonstrated track record of improving reliability at scale — reducing incidents, building guardrails, or driving operational standards across multiple teams • Strong proficiency in backend systems and distributed architecture; you can diagnose complex failure modes across a service mesh • Experience with load testing and capacity planning, and the ability to translate findings into concrete engineering improvements • Proven ability to work across engineering teams as a technical influencer — driving adoption of standards and practices without direct authority • Familiarity with Kubernetes, Helm, Argo and modern deployment tooling • Strong written and verbal communication — comfortable presenting findings and recommendations to both engineering teams and senior leadership.

🏖️ Benefits

• Top-tier health benefits and life insurance • Long-term group savings with employer match, through Wealthsimple for Business • 20 vacation days, 4 wellness days, and unlimited sick and mental health days per year • 90 days away: work outside Canada for up to 90 days per year • Employee resource groups, including Rainbow (2SLGBTQ), Women of WS, and Black at WS
