What they're looking for
- Built and led teams that owned secure, reliable, mission critical services and infrastructure at scale, from strategy through production operations
- Delivered internal platforms, tooling, and services that materially improved reliability, security, and employee experience
- Made sound software and infrastructure engineering decisions at scale. Deep endpoint expertise is strongly preferred
- Raised production readiness through direct technical review of architecture, automation, code, IaC/GitOps, CI/CD, observability, and operational tradeoffs
- Operated infrastructure with material security or identity risk through staged rollouts, incidents, and decisions that balanced risk, compliance, and employee or developer experience
- Committed to joining the team’s engineering on call rotation after ramp up and using firsthand operational context to improve reliability and reduce toil
