📋 Description

• Serve as the primary incident lead during your region’s daytime hours, coordinating technical investigations, centralizing communication, and engaging the appropriate engineering and SRE teams when escalation is required. • Respond to escalations from Tier 1 support, using runbooks, metrics, logs, and system diagnostics to investigate and remediate issues or determine when escalation to Tier 3 is necessary. • Develop and update runbooks, workflows, and operational documentation to ensure consistent and reliable responses to recurring issues, collaborating with product teams to expand coverage over time. • Write, maintain, and enhance automation scripts and tools that streamline common remediation steps, improve response times, and reduce manual operational overhead. • Use metrics, logs, and tracing tools (Grafana/Prometheus, GCP Monitoring, OpenTelemetry) to proactively identify problems, validate system behavior, and support continuous improvement of detection mechanisms. • Act as the central point of communication during active incidents, ensuring timely updates and clear routing to the correct product engineering and SRE stakeholders. • Collaborate with reliability and product teams to share insights, recommend improvements, and help refine processes that enhance the stability and operability of our systems. • Participate in a shared weekend on-call rotation to help maintain operational coverage for production systems, responding to incidents and escalations as needed and coordinating with engineering teams when issues arise. • Help establish operational best practices, refine workflows, and prepare the foundation for a broader reliability operations function.
