• Participate in a 24/7 on-call rotation, responding to P1/P2 incidents within defined SLOs, acting as Incident Commander or SME, and coordinating resolution across engineering teams
• Lead incident management, root cause analysis, and blameless post-incident reviews, driving measurable improvements from learnings
• Reduce operational toil through automation, building self-healing systems, remediation tooling, runbooks, and automated scaling and recovery processes
• Improve CI/CD pipeline reliability, deployment safety, rollback strategies, and release processes
• Perform capacity planning, load testing, performance tuning, and scaling activities
• Design, test, and maintain disaster recovery and resilience strategies, including chaos engineering experiments and Game Day exercises
• Influence system architecture by partnering with development and cloud teams, participating in architecture reviews, and advocating for reliability best practices
• Document operational standards, mentor teams on reliability practices, and promote a blameless, continuous-improvement culture

Job Requirements:

• Strong Linux and Windows administration and troubleshooting
• Python, PowerShell, Bash, or Go
• Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana
• Kubernetes (AKS), Docker, container troubleshooting
• Azure DevOps Pipelines (preferred); GitOps (FluxCD or ArgoCD) Azure (App Services, AKS, Functions, Storage, Key Vault, Cosmos DB)
