oles & Responsibilities

End-to-End Reliability & Operations

• Take full ownership of availability, latency, scalability, and durability across all services and databases.
• Define and enforce Service Level Objectives (SLOs), Service Level Indicators (SLIs), and error budgets for critical systems.
• Lead incident response protocols, conduct blameless Root Cause Analyses (RCAs), and drive systemic fixes to improve MTTR and MTTD.
• Build production readiness frameworks and establish best practices for capacity planning, deployments, rollbacks, and change management.

Database Reliability & Architecture

• Ensure the end-to-end reliability of relational databases, NoSQL databases, caching layers, and streaming platforms.
• Design highly available, multi-region architectures, implementing robust cross-region replication and failover mechanisms.
• Formulate and implement comprehensive backup, restore, and disaster recovery (DR) strategies.
• Lead system design reviews with a strict focus on fault tolerance, scalability bottlenecks, data partitioning, and sharding.

Platform Automation & Tooling

• Build and evolve internal platforms for database provisioning, lifecycle management, and service deployment.
• Champion Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and GitOps practices to reduce operational toil through automation and self-healing systems.
• Define golden signals (latency, traffic, errors, saturation) and build comprehensive observability and tooling across the application, infrastructure, and database layers.
• Develop reusable frameworks for failover automation, chaos testing, and reliability validation.

Performance, Cost & Security

• Optimize system performance and drive cost efficiency across cloud infrastructure (compute, network, storage) and database usage (IOPS, replication, backups).
• Ensure systems comply with rigorous security and governance standards by implementing access controls, encryption (at rest and in transit), and audit logging.

The Impact You Can Create

As a Staff Engineer (IC4), you will act as a technical leader across the infrastructure, platform, and data layers. By blending Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) and Database Reliability Engineering (DBRE), you will:

• Drive the organization-wide reliability strategy and solve highly ambiguous, high-impact engineering problems.
• Influence system architecture across multiple teams, guiding product teams on resilient architecture patterns.
• Raise the overall engineering standards through mentorship, design leadership, and by operating with high ownership and autonomy.
