## About the Role

* Technical Ability: Solid software engineering fundamentals and raw coding ability. Production code is your default way of solving a problem.
 * Infrastructure Depth: Hands-on experience running GCP (or a comparable cloud) and Kubernetes at production scale, including autoscaling and capacity management.
 * Automation First: You have built tools and automation that other engineers depended on, not just runbooks that describe a manual fix.
 * Ownership: Comfortable driving ambiguous, cross-team reliability work on your own, from diagnosis to a shipped fix.

## Description

* Design and build software that removes manual on-call intervention and recurring sources of toil.
 * Lead infrastructure projects end to end.
 * Find where cost-driven limits create latency or reliability problems, and fix the trade-off.
 * Build tooling that shows system health across our GCP projects at a glance.
 * Define SLOs with product teams and raise the bar on reliability practice across engineering.
 * Pioneer reliability engineering for agent-first production systems.
