This role is critical for ensuring the stability, performance, and scalability of our production services. You'll be the bridge between development and operations, with a strong focus on using code to manage infrastructure and eliminate toil. Key Responsibilities Monitoring and Alerting: Design, implement, and maintain robust monitoring and alerting systems (e.g., GCP Monitoring, Prometheus, Grafana, Traces, Logs) to provide visibility into application performance and infrastructure health. Infrastructure Management: Build, provision, and maintain our core infrastructure, with a strong emphasis on Cloud environments and Kubernetes clusters. Automation and Tooling: Write and maintain scripts and automation workflows (e.g., Python, Bash, TypeScript (Pulumi)) to streamline deployment, scaling, and operational tasks, embracing the philosophy of "automating everything." Incident Response: Provide hands-on, real-time incident response and participate in an on-call rotation to quickly mitigate service disruptions and restore functionality. Production Debugging: Deeply debug and troubleshoot complex production problems across the entire stack, from network issues to application code defects. Process Improvement: Conduct blameless post-mortems for major incidents, implementing long-term solutions to prevent recurrence and continuously improve service reliability.
