Full Job Description

Own Service Reliability As a Designated Responsible Individual (DRI), you're the first line of defense for our critical services. You'll monitor systems for degradation, respond to incidents within SLA timeframes, and coordinate with stakeholders during outages. This isn't just firefighting - you'll learn to think systematically about reliability and build automation that prevents future incidents. Drive Technical Excellence Across Domains This variety means you'll develop breadth and depth simultaneously - understanding both how to build great software and how to keep it running in production. Build Automation and Improve Systems Contribute to developing automation for production deployment and operations. You'll run code in test environments, validate functionality, and progressively build confidence in our deployment processes. Over time, you'll identify patterns in operational work and automate away toil, freeing the team to focus on higher-value engineering. Work in an environment where security isn't an afterthought - it's the foundation. You'll ensure processes achieve the highest standards of security, privacy, safety, and accessibility. You'll develop deep understanding of compliance requirements and learn to evaluate new technologies through a security lens. Analyze Data to Drive Improvements Collect, classify, and analyze metrics on system health, performance, and reliability. Your insights will directly inform product decisions and engineering priorities. You'll learn to distinguish signal from noise and escalate findings that matter. Stay current with developments in cloud technology, reliability engineering, and operational best practices. Invest in learning that improves availability, reliability, efficiency, observability, and performance. Apply industry best practices while adapting them to our unique airgapped environment. Build Scalable, Reliable Systems Apply software engineering best practices to build code that scales to customer requirements and performs under pressure. You'll learn to design systems that are maintainable, observable, and resilient - not just functional. Understand their goals, constraints, and customer needs. Represent our perspective in design discussions and influence partner teams toward reliable solutions.
