Participate in incident management, root cause analysis, postmortems, and follow-up remediation.

Work closely with engineering teams to improve service reliability, deployment quality, and operational readiness.
Turn ambiguous infrastructure, reliability, and operational problems into clear, scalable, and measurable solutions.
Engage with backend codebases through code reviews, pull requests, and occasional feature or tooling work to build shared context with product engineering teams.
Experience, Skills & Qualifications

Strong experience operating high-availability production systems.
Experience with cloud or hybrid cloud environments and tools such as Terraform or OpenTofu.
