Responsibilities
Build and tune monitoring, dashboards and alerts; reduce alert noise and close detection gaps.
Help resolve production incidents, and lead triage of lower severity alerts.
Facilitate blameless postmortems and drive follow-up actions to closure.
Define SLIs and SLOs for critical user flows.
Write runbooks and playbooks for AI-assisted alert triage.
Automate toil through scripting, infrastructure as code and CI/CD improvements.
Support safer releases through readiness reviews, load testing and canary deployments.
Contribute to failover and disaster recovery testing.
What Success Looks Like
Delivery & Execution: You participate in incident response, and manage post incident workflows, ensuring effective postmortems occur within SLA.
Product Quality & Reliability: Your services have SLOs, actionable alerts and current runbooks. Alert noise trends down, and detection and recovery times improve.
Collaboration & Knowledge Sharing: Engineers and monitoring teams use your dashboards and runbooks day to day, and postmortems lead to fixes rather than blame.
Business & Product Impact: Fewer incidents reach customers or affect business operations, and new features ship without losing stability.
Professional Growth: You lead at least one reliability project from design to rollout and are on a clear path toward Senior SRE.
