About the job

As a Senior Site Reliability Engineer, you will be responsible for owning and delivering quarterly goals for your team, leading engineers through ambiguity, and ensuring support throughout delivery. You will collaborate with infrastructure, product management, developer experience, and analytics to articulate technical constraints and partner on decisions that consider risks and trade-offs. You will proactively identify technical solutions and operational processes that strengthen incident readiness, response, and post-incident analysis. You will support operations and availability of your team’s artifacts by creating and monitoring metrics, escalating when needed, and supporting on-call efforts. You will foster a culture of quality and ownership by setting or improving code review and design standards, and help develop talent by providing feedback and guidance.
