• Design monitoring and observability platforms that reduce alert fatigue and accelerate root-cause analysis.
• Develop automation, self-healing capabilities, diagnostic tooling, runbooks, and recovery workflows that reduce MTTD and MTTR.
• Analyze incidents and systemic failure trends, then engineer solutions that prevent recurring classes of failures.
• Partner with Platform Engineering on CI/CD pipelines, deployment safety, Infrastructure as Code, GitOps, and infrastructure resilience.
• Measure production health through SLIs, SLOs, and SLAs, and explore AI-assisted diagnostics and developer tooling.

Requirements

• Strong hands-on Python skills as the primary language for automation and tooling.
• Experience in SRE, Production Engineering, Platform Engineering, or a related discipline with direct production ownership.
