  • Measure and reduce defect leakage, ensuring defects are prevented—not just detected.
  • Production Support & Stability

    Act as the owner of platform stability—leading incident response, root cause analysis, and preventative measures actions.

  • Institutionalize blameless postmortems and 5 Whys methodology to drive learning.
  • Track SLOs and SLIs (uptime, latency, error rates); enforce error budgets as part of release gating.
  • Continuously reduce MTTR (mean time to recovery) and P1 / P2 recurrence rates.
  • DevOps & Reliability Engineering

    Lead CI / CD, infrastructure as code, and deployment automation.

  • Maintain observability : dashboards, alerting, and synthetic monitoring.
  • Ensure zero-downtime releases and backwards compatibility for a multi-tenant SaaS environment.
  • Qualifications

  • Track record of delivering stable, high-quality SaaS releases at scale.

  • QA tooling.

  • Experienced in manual and automated testing practices—able to build both strategy and
  • discipline.

  • Strong analytical / problem-solving skills; proven ability to lead root cause analysis and preventative action.
  • Collaborative leader with excellent cross-functional influence. Success in This Role Looks Like
  • Predictable releases with fewer escaped defects and zero major outages.

  • High confidence in release quality from Product, Support, and Customers.
