• Collaborate with global engineering teams on escalations and platform initiatives.

Requirements

• Proven, verifiable results operating large-scale production platforms — e.g., measurable reliability improvements, reduced incident rates, or successful platform version rollouts.
• Strong programming skills in Go and/or Python. 
• Strong expertise in Kubernetes development, SRE practices, and debugging. 
• Experience with managed Kubernetes services at scale. 
• Experience operating production infrastructure, including on-call participation.
