- Reduce operational risk by improving rollout and validation processes.
- Integrate Observability Across Infrastructure
- Collaborate with Platform and Infrastructure teams to embed monitoring into systems such as Kafka, gRPC services, Kubernetes, and AWS-managed services.
- Improve production visibility and reduce mean time to detect (MTTD) and resolve (MTTR) incidents
- Deliver High-Quality, Production-Ready Code
- Write clean, well-tested, and maintainable Python code and Terraform modules.
- Participate in architecture and design reviews; provide thoughtful feedback in code reviews.
- Take ownership of projects end-to-end, from design and implementation through production rollout and support.
- Mentorship & Collaboration
- Assist team members to solve problems and develop their own skills.

- Proven ability to independently drive medium-to-large initiatives from design to delivery.
- Comfortable making pragmatic tradeoffs to deliver reliable, scalable solutions.
- A strong product mindset for internal tools.
- Passion for reducing cognitive load, eliminating toil, and making observability easy to adopt by default.
- Solid understanding of modern web applications and distributed systems.
- Knowledge of how observability applies to high-throughput, highly available systems
- Clear written and verbal communication skills.
- Ability to influence technical direction through design discussions, documentation, and hands-on implementation.
- Comfortable partnering with product, platform, and infrastructure teams.
