What You'll Do

In this role, you will serve as the first line of technical leadership during production incidentsleveraging logs, metrics, and OpenTelemetry traces to identify the true failure domain, whether in code, integrations, or infrastructure. You'll help design, evolve, and advocate for observability tooling and SLIs/SLOs that promote reliability as a shared, data-informed responsibility across Engineering and Product teams.

You'll turn insights from incidents and performance analysis into a prioritized reliability backlog, working cross-functionally to balance fast fixes with strategic, long-term improvements. You'll also automate repetitive taskssuch as Terraform provisioning and CI/CD workflowsto free up engineers to focus on higher-impact work.

Finally, you'll maintain runbooks, dashboards, and error catalogs to ensure future engineers can solve problems faster than those before them.

Your Impact

Champion customer experience by reducing incident MTTR, eliminating alert fatigue, and driving down latency "hot spots" surfaced by distributed tracing.
Strengthen our microservice architecture through proactive capacity planning, failure-mode analysis, and targeted refactors that improve resiliency and throughput.

Expert at turning traces, metrics, and logs into actionable insightshands-on with OpenTelemetry plus tools like Sumo Logic, Datadog, Grafana, Kibana, or similar.

Proven ability to define and track SLIs/SLOs, run incident post-mortems, and drive follow-through on reliability remediation.
Working knowledge of containerization, CI/CD, and Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform or similar)enough to automate what matters without disappearing into pure ops work.
Systematic problem-solving approach, clear written communication (runbooks, PRs, Jira), and a collaborative mindset that lives our core values of Customer Focus, Ownership, One Team, and Continuous Improvement.

Bonus Points

Experience leading an org-wide observability or SLO rollout.
Hands-on with distributed tracing involving native mobile applications.
Experience optimizing high-volume transaction platforms.
