Operating Model

Design, build, and maintain automation and tooling that reduces operational toil.

Contribute to maturing reliability practices in partnership with Product & Engineering leaders.

Contribute to an inclusive, high-accountability culture that encourages curiosity, collaboration, and blameless improvement.

Incident Management and Operational Excellence

Actively participate in the health and continuous improvement of the incident-management lifecycle, including detection, engagement, escalation, mitigation, stakeholder communication, post-incident review, and corrective-action follow-through.

Participate in a 12-hour follow-the-sun on-call rotation within the Global SRE team.

Ensure incident practices are customer-centered, data-driven, blameless, and consistent across teams while preserving accurate severity and escalation decisions.

Use alert, incident, support, and SLO trends to move the organization from reactive response toward proactive risk reduction.

Build measurable feedback loops that connect incident learning to engineering standards, service maturity, product priorities, and vendor actions.

Work closely with application engineering teams and incorporate their feedback to improve developer experience and reduce toil.

Reliability Strategy and Service Maturity

Partner with service owners to ensure production readiness standards are met before each release stage.

Provide an SRE point of view on capacity planning, resilience testing, game days, disaster-recovery readiness, and modernization of fragile or legacy workloads.

Partner with Product and Engineering leaders to document critical customer workflows, define health expectations, surface dependencies early, and align reliability investment with business priorities.

Participate in cross-team reliability engagements, influencing outcomes without relying on direct authority.

Build strategic relationships with vendors in the observability, incident response, and cloud infrastructure domains.

AI-First Reliability Engineering

Responsibly adopt AI-assisted and agentic workflows for alert triage, incident mitigation, postmortems, trend analysis, capacity planning, SLO analysis, and self-service knowledge.

Keep qualified humans in the decision loop for production-impacting actions.

Improve the context available to reliability workflows by strengthening service metadata, observability data, incident records, runbooks, architecture documentation, and corrective-action quality.
