  • Partner with engineering teams to define infrastructure-as-a-service primitives.
  • Build monitoring and alerting to identify issues early and help meet enterprise-grade SLAs.
  • Create opinionated abstractions, tooling, and guardrails for safe use of platform primitives.

  • Help establish the team’s future on-call rotation and operating model.

Requirements

Benefits

  • Medical, dental, vision, life, and disability benefit plans.
