IMPROVE RELIABILITY, SECURITY & OBSERVABILITY

  • Contribute to on-call, incident response, performance tuning, and critical bug fixes across network and platform systems.
  • Improve monitoring, alerting, and observability so the team can diagnose issues faster and reduce operational toil.
  • Strengthen our security posture through automation, segmentation, DDoS/WAF considerations, and zero-trust principles where relevant.

DRIVE CROSS-FUNCTIONAL PLATFORM STRATEGY

  • Partner closely with Cloud engineers, Product teams, Security, Support, Customer Success, Sales, and cloud provider teams on infrastructure initiatives.
  • Lead significant infrastructure projects independently, such as new region rollouts, platform components, or cross-team technical initiatives.
  • Bring senior technical judgement to architecture decisions, trade-offs, and the evolution of our multi-region and multi-cloud platform strategy.
