• Maintain and upgrade these platforms across development, staging and production environments.
• Participate in an on-call rotation, responding to incidents and support requests from other engineering teams.
• Partner with engineering teams to help them use our platforms well, from deployment and configuration to monitoring and alerting.
• Troubleshoot infrastructure issues from first report to root cause, and escalate early when a fix crosses team boundaries.
• Help keep our platforms reliable and cost-efficient as usage grows.
• Write runbooks and documentation that help on-call engineers, AI Agents and other teams solve problems on their own.
• Make task-level implementation decisions, escalate ambiguity early, and incorporate feedback to improve EngOps execution.

• An awareness of security and privacy, system design, and strategic thinking within an operations environment.

Requirements

• Familiarity with advanced observability tools (such as Prometheus or Grafana) and infrastructure-as-code workflows.
