Mission

What you will drive

  • Take Ownership: You actively evolve our multi-tenant cloud and container infrastructure. You take end-to-end ownership of various components, ensuring they are secure, scalable, observable, and cost-efficient.
  • Engineer Infrastructure as Software: You bring a developer's mindset to operations. You solve complexity by writing high-quality code and automation, ensuring our platform is managed strictly via declarative code.
  • Drive Observability: You mature our observability platform, ensuring we aren't just collecting data but providing the insights teams need to drive architectural decisions, improve performance, and establish meaningful SLOs.
  • Architect for Resilience: You proactively identify bottlenecks before they become incidents and, when things do break, you lead the resolution and drive post-mortems to ensure we learn.
  • Empower Others: You build self-service capabilities that allow engineering teams to own their full lifecycle. You also drive the adoption of best practices through code or architecture reviews and technical deep-dives and share your expertise through high-quality documentation and operational runbooks.
