Manage and utilize error budgets effectively to balance reliability with innovation and feature velocity.
Drive significant toil elimination through automation, designing and implementing automated solutions for routine operational tasks, deployments, and remediation.
Design, implement, and manage comprehensive observability and monitoring solutions, ensuring deep insights into system health, performance, and user experience. This includes logging, metrics, tracing, and alerting.
Lead emergency response efforts, including effective incident triage, root cause analysis through blameless post-mortems, and driving actionable outcomes from retrospectives.
Collaborate with development and operations teams to design and build highly scalable, resilient, and fault-tolerant systems.
