• Proactively monitor production - CloudWatch dashboards, metric alarms, log-based metrics, and Slack alerting - addressing operational issues before they impact users.
• Lead production debugging and incident response: build and maintain runbooks, participate in the on-call rotation, and resolve queue and dead-letter-queue failures through retry, redrive, and recovery.
• Continuously refine our infrastructure to ensure it is easily deployable and scalable: keep infrastructure as code (SST/Pulumi) accurate, retire unused infrastructure, and keep cost visible and justified.
• Share your knowledge of production operations with the team, fostering a culture of learning and growth., Design, deploy, and maintain on-premises and cloud playout infrastructure for IP video distribution. Build automation, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, and scalable fault-tolerant systems. Drive releases, troubleshoot broadcast incidents, mentor SREs, and provide 24/7 on-call support.
