Responsibilities
Own the 99.99% Target: You will define the Service Level Objectives (SLOs) and Service Level Indicators (SLIs) for our critical user journeys. You will be accountable for tracking our Error Budgets and governing the release velocity based on platform stability
Incident Management & Forensics: You will own the incident response process, serving as the ultimate escalation point for complex production outages. You will lead blameless post-mortems (RCAs) to identify root causes and ensure systemic fixes are implemented to prevent recurrence
Eliminate Toil: You will ruthlessly identify and automate manual operational tasks. Your goal is to engineer yourself out of operations work so you can focus on high-value reliability architecture
Architect for Catastrophe: You will design and implement our Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery strategy. You will orchestrate our regional failover capabilities, ensuring we meet aggressive Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPO)
Enterprise-Grade Resilience: You will build the technical credibility required to win grueling enterprise audits. You will demonstrate that our platform is robust, stable, and resistant to unexpected failures through rigorous documentation and proof-of-concept demonstrations
"Game Day" Simulations: You will lead regular disaster recovery drills and chaos engineering experiments to validate our failover mechanisms, ensuring our team is practically prepared for real-world scenarios
Intelligent Auto-Scaling: You will design and implement sophisticated auto-scaling strategies (HPA/VPA/Cluster Autoscaler) on Kubernetes (GKE) to handle unpredictable spikes in medical data ingestion
Capacity Planning: You will lead capacity planning and cost optimization initiatives, ensuring our infrastructure scales efficiently with our business growth
Resilience Patterns: You will work with the Architecture Review Board (ARB) to enforce resilience patterns (circuit breakers, retries, fallbacks, bulkheads) in our application code and service mesh
Mentorship & Culture: You will advocate for SRE culture across the engineering organization, mentoring feature teams on how to build operable, observable, and reliable software
