- Implement and maintain sophisticated observability (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry), define SLIs/SLOs, and establish error budgets
- Act as a lead Incident Commander (TDO on-call), develop response playbooks, and conduct deep-dive post-incident analyses
- Partner with Engineering and partner teams to conduct operability reviews
- You thrive in ambiguity. You're comfortable building the path as you walk it. You thrive in a dynamic environment, seeing ambiguity not as a hindrance, but as the raw material to build something meaningful
