Responsibilities
Own CI/CD pipelines in GitHub from build through promotion and deployment for containerized services; define guardrails, quality gates, and rollout/rollback patterns aligned with SRE and Release Management practices
Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines and release workflows that accelerate safe, frequent deployments to GCP and on prem/hybrid environments
Diagnose container runtime issues (e.g., task health, service scaling, deployments) and partner with teams during image promotion windows
Embed reliability practices: runbooks, production checks, operational readiness, and joint incident/retro participation with SRE
Champion observability and change safety: metrics, logs, alerts, and progressive delivery strategies (feature flags, config changes, DB change playbooks)

Implement observability and runbooks with developers (dashboards, alerts, SLO aligned monitors) to reduce MTTR and prevent repeat issues
Participate in an on call rotation for DevOps support (release support, pipelines, platform) while partnering with SRE/operations teams on production reliability. (IC role; not a primary SRE position.)
Operate within Change Management controls (ticketing, approvals, deployment windows) and contribute to continuous improvement of release governance
Collaborate within Agile ceremonies—stand ups, reviews, and retros—to plan work, surface risks, and iterate quickly as a self organizing engineering partner
Implement SRE principles, including SLIs, SLOs, error budgets, monitoring, blameless postmortems, and toil reduction
