• Collaborates with Software Engineering teams to support the development, and implementation of features that enhance system resilience, scalability, and performance, ensuring systems can handle varying loads and recover effectively from unexpected disruptions.
• Collaborates in the development and implementation of automation tools and frameworks, including infrastructure as code (IaC) practices, to reduce manual intervention and improve system efficiency, with guidance from peers and leaders.
• Collaborates with senior engineers to contribute to the architectural design of systems, ensuring that reliability, scalability, and performance considerations are integrated into design discussions with direct guidance from senior colleagues.
• Collaborates in the design and execution of chaos engineering experiments and other resiliency testing methods to help identify potential failure points and ensure systems can recover from disruptions, with guidance from peers and leaders.
• Supports the development and implementation of disaster recovery plans and business continuity strategies, ensuring systems can recover quickly and effectively from unexpected disruptions.
• Collaborates with seniors to promote and implement best practices such as error budgeting, service-level objectives (SLOs), and service-level indicators (SLIs), contributing to a culture of continuous improvement and reliability.
• Serves as a key point of contact for customer-facing incident management, helping drive timely resolution and coordinating stakeholders through to recovery.
• Works within an ITIL-aligned support organization, applying structured incident, problem, and change management processes to support consistent, repeatable service delivery.
• Builds and maintains automation tools and frameworks, including infrastructure as code (IaC), to reduce manual toil, accelerate recovery, and improve operational efficiency across cloud environments.
• Helps deploy and operate cloud-native infrastructure on public cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP), contributing to containerized workloads, CI/CD pipelines, and DevOps tooling.
• Creates and maintains clear, structured process documentation, runbooks, and knowledge-base articles, ensuring operational knowledge is captured, standardized, and accessible across the team.
• Collaborates with Software Engineering teams to enhance system resilience, scalability, and performance, ensuring services handle varying loads and recover effectively from disruptions.
• Contributes to the definition and monitoring of service-level KPIs, supporting a culture of continuous improvement and reliability.
• Supports the development and execution of disaster recovery and business continuity plans, including resiliency testing methods such as chaos engineering experiments.
