Responsibilities

Demonstrates expertise in distributed systems design, interactions between cloud technology layers and components, common dependencies at scale, and the code that defines infrastructures. Can identify and recommend configurations optimal of cloud technology solutions and modify the code base that defines systems or cloud technologies to improve the reliability and operability of supported products with minimal guidance from other engineers

Develops an understanding of the code, features, and operations of specific products at scale as required to contribute to incremental improvements in product availability, reliability, efficiency, observability, and/or performance; participates in on-boarding, code/design reviews, and regular meetings with the engineering teams that develop and/or manage those products

Researches and maintains an awareness in industry trends, advances in distributed systems and cloud technologies, new tools, and/or processes for maintaining and improving product availability, reliability, efficiency, observability, and/or performance. Contributes to the implementation of new solutions within their team by identifying ways they can be applied to solve persistent problems

Leverages technical expertise in large scale distributed systems and specific products, as well as objective insights drawn from analyses of production telemetry data to suggest changes or add-ons to product features or code to improve the availability, reliability, efficiency, observability, and performance of product components or features supported by their team

Develops and tests basic changes to optimize code and improve the observability, reliability and operability of a defined range of platform, system, or product components or features with direction from other engineers

Engages with product engineering teams by participating code/design reviews, regular meetings, on-call rotations and incident responses throughout product development and operations cycles; leverages technical expertise on underlying systems/platforms and insights drawn from engagements with product engineering teams and telemetry analyses to propose potential improvements in code base and designs across components and features of one or more products

Designs, develops, and maintains telemetry pipelines and monitoring tools that detail operations metrics (e.g., availability, reliability, performance, efficiency) of product components and features operating at scale. Independently performs analyses using existing tools and/or models to identify insights and shares them with product engineering teams to directly contribute to improvements in product development and/or operations; monitors the impact of changes on operations metrics (e.g., Time-to-X)
