Summary of This Role

Responsible for availability, latency, performance, efficiency, change management, monitoring, emergency response, and capacity planning.

Splits time between operations/on-call duties and developing systems and software that help increase site reliability and performance.

What Part Will You Play?

• Use practices from DevOps and GitOps to improve automation and processes to make self service possible.

• Pushing our systems to their limits, and then coming up with designs for how to get them to the next performance tier.

• Safeguarding reliability. Ensuring that our services are highly available, resilient against disasters, self-monitoring, and self-healing.

• Running “game days” to test assumptions about reliability and learn what will break before it matters to customers.

• Building systems to proactively monitor the health, performance and security of our production and non-production virtualized infrastructure.

• Improving our monitoring and alerting systems to make sure engineers get paged when it matters (and don’t get paged when it doesn’t).
