• Own production reliability – take meaningful accountability for the stability, robustness, and performance of our platform across the full stack.
• Own and scale the on‑call culture – strengthen runbooks, sharpen escalation paths, and build incident response processes that grow with the team.
• Instrument everything – develop and improve monitoring, alerting, and observability so issues surface before users are impacted.
• Drive the SRE roadmap – work with the Platform squad and leadership to prioritize reliability investments from SLOs to chaos engineering.
• Make engineers faster – reduce toil, improve the developer experience, better tooling, clearer feedback loops, and smoother deployments.
