• →

  Own platform reliability: define SLIs and SLOs, instrument what isn't measured today, cut MTTR, and automate the incident response when the platform breaks

• →

  Find the automation opportunities nobody has asked for yet, make the case for it and deliver

• →

  Architect and invent AI-powered workflows that multiply everyone's output

• →

  Set the technical bar through design review, technical writing, and mentoring, so the team makes better decisions without you in the room

• BS or MS degree in EE/CS/CE (or equivalent experience)

• 12+ years of infrastructure, platform, DevOps, or SRE engineering

• Outstanding communication, leading, and teaching skills: the ability to articulate WHY a solution is correct, write clear requirements, review critically, and guide others to understanding

• History of growing other engineers, formally or informally

• Sense of humor heavily encouraged, but not required

• Track record of writing technical proposals, design docs, or architecture decisions that others have acted on independently

• Experience using AI-assisted development tools: knowing when to trust, when to verify, and when to throw away the output

• Pride and passion evident in your work
