• You’ll work closely with product owners to design systems and platform capabilities that increase speed to market for features that delight our end users, while making these systems observable, reliable and deployable for our engineers

• You’ll be a champion and a solid hands-on practitioner for DevOps best practices

• You’ll offer mentorship and guidance on the best ways to design and implement platform-level solutions across all our products

• You'll be an experienced voice that helps define our platform and technology roadmap

Why we'll love you

• You design, build and deploy scalable services

• You decompose services into their concerns, i.e., performance, reliability, security, scalability, usability, and compliance

• You guide teams to use the platform in a secure, resilient and effective manner

• You have experience managing and debugging distributed services

• You have experience designing, managing, and debugging solutions that include cloud services like Kubernetes, Istio, cert-manager, and Open Policy Agent.
