Technical Strategy

Define and evolve the reliability and observability strategy across the platform, covering infrastructure automation, logging, metrics, tracing, and alerting
Drive prioritization and roadmap planning for large-scale reliability initiatives, including SLOs, error budgets, and alerting standards across multiple product teams
Own the evolution of critical transversal services (e.g. secrets management, infrastructure as code tooling) that support secure, scalable infrastructure management across the organization
Advocate for and allocate resources toward reducing technical debt and improving developer experience

Operational Excellence

Own the team's on-call experience and contribute to incident response processes, ensuring sustainable practices and continuous improvement
Lead postmortem reviews and drive systemic improvements to prevent recurring issues
Ensure high availability and reliability of the services your team owns

Cross-functional Collaboration

Work closely with Product Managers, Engineering Managers, and architects to align reliability and observability capabilities with product and platform needs
