Responsibilities - Contribute directly to incident response, infrastructure automation, platform tooling, and code reviews. - Own technical debt and modernization efforts across infrastructure and legacy services. - Maintain deep technical understanding of observability, disaster recovery, and infrastructure projects. - Set and track standards for reliability, performance, incident recovery, platform adoption, and engineering quality. - Lead system design and architectural decisions, making pragmatic trade-offs under delivery pressure. - Manage and develop a team of approximately 3–4 Site Reliability Engineers, including hiring and performance processes.

Requirements - Current, hands-on software engineering experience with regular coding and technical review responsibilities. - At least 4 years of professional software engineering experience and 3+ years working with platform engineering, DevOps, or SRE practices. - Experience owning technical direction, people management, or both, with readiness to combine the responsibilities. - Comfort serving as the final technical decision-maker without a separate technical lead. - Experience with distributed systems and cloud or platform technologies such as AWS, Kubernetes, secrets management, observability tools, CI/CD, relational databases, messaging systems, or caches. - Knowledge of microservice architectures, effective collaboration, written and verbal communication, and agile delivery practices.
