What You Will Do
Build and own the automation and tooling that keeps the platform running; define and maintain SLOs, SLIs, and dashboards; take point during incidents; troubleshoot under pressure, drive root cause analysis, and run post-incident reviews.

- Solid command of Linux, networking fundamentals, and distributed systems
- A track record of troubleshooting live production issues and owning the fix through to the retro
- Fluency with monitoring and observability; metrics, logs, dashboards, and alerting
Benefits
- Competitive base plus equity
- Real scope early, and a progression plan built around the skills you want to sharpen
- Flexibility that treats you as an adult; we care that the work gets done, and we trust you to shape your day
