- Perform initial incident triage and identify impacted components
- Execute predefined runbooks and recovery actions (job restarts, retries, etc.)
- Escalate issues to engineering teams when required
- Monitor scheduled jobs and workflows (e.g., Dagster, SageMaker, batch pipelines)
- Identify missing, delayed, or failed data processes
- Trigger re-runs or escalate issues to relevant teams

- Highlight recurring issues and patterns for further analysis
(To set the right expectations clearly)

- No ownership of alert configurations (handled by SRE/Engineering teams)
Required Qualifications:
Must Have- Strong understanding of APIs and HTTP status codes
- Experience with monitoring tools/logs (Datadog, CloudWatch, Grafana, Kibana, etc.)
- Basic knowledge of SQL (queries, data validation checks)
- Ability to work with dashboards, alerts, and incident tracking systems
- Experience in incident management / production support environments
- Exposure to AWS services (CloudWatch, Lambda basics, etc.)
- Understanding of data pipelines and batch processing systems
- Familiarity with observability tools and logging systems
- Ability to stay calm under pressure during incidents
