This role will partner with key leaders in Software Engineering, Core Technology Infrastructure (CTI) Engineering, and Technology Services roles to define objective reliability goals for the services they support, including observability designs specifying plans to gain operational visibility into meeting those goals through instrumentation and dashboards. The individual in this role will consistently look for opportunities to improve the reliability and efficiency of operating our services, spending a considerable portion of their time utilizing their engineering skills to find automation solutions to manual support activities, along with influencing a culture that drives innovation and continuous improvement. This individual will be engaged in major production triage efforts and work with problem management in the identification of root cause of highly impactful or complex issues as required. This individual will use the knowledge gained in those efforts to partner closely with software developers, production services, architects and Infrastructure teams to drive delivery of sustainable and reusable design patterns supporting efficient production operation and to ensure nonfunctional production support requirements are adopted early in the application development lifecycle

This job is responsible for partnering with leaders across engineering and technology to define objective reliability goals for services. Key responsibilities include composing observability designs through instrumentation and dashboards, identifying root causes of complex / impactful issues, partnering with cross functional teams to deliver sustainable design patterns, and driving early adoption of non-functional production support requirements. Job expectations include automating services to improve reliability and efficiency and influencing a culture of innovation and continuous improvement.

Required Qualifications

Demonstrated Experience / Abilty in the Following Skills :

• Collaborate with Development and Infrastructure teams to understand technical solutions and to develop Service Level Indicators (SLIs) and Service Level Objectives (SLOs) to measure and improve the reliability of the services they support.
• Partner with Development and Infrastructure teams to create error budget policies which prioritize reliability stories and tasks when reliability objectives fall below a threshold defined in the established SLOs.
• Develop software solutions and / or improved processes to address work identified as 'toil' by collaborating with key partners to identify, track and remediate these work processes as a means to free up time to focus on reliability.
• Partner with infrastructure engineers and application development leads to suggest code optimizations and / or additional instrumentation and logging structures in the application or platforms to help gain visibility into the reliability of their applications and services.
• Engage as a subject matter expert (SME) in major incident triage efforts, failure scenario modelling and work with the Problem Manager to diagnose root causes for complex / high impact major incident / problem management investigations.
• Assess monitoring for new changes with development partners and work with monitoring tools team to enhance application and system monitoring designs as well as monitoring dashboards for new projects and initiatives.
• Design solutions to visualize key production support metrics that enable both Operational Readiness and Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) teams to identify scenarios requiring intervention or opportunities to improve support efficiency and / or system reliability.
• Identify vulnerabilities and opportunities for reliability improvement, such as investigating low level error rates and 'noise' in monitoring and define solutions to reduce manual support effort and / or improve system reliability.
• Identify and plan for capacity and performance bottlenecks in critical systems.
