What you’ll be doing:

  • Build, implement and support operational and reliability aspects of large-scale Kubernetes clusters with focus on performance at scale, real-time monitoring, logging, and alerting.

  • Define SLOs/SLIs, monitor error allowances, and streamline reporting.

  • Support services before they launch through system creation consulting, developing software tools, platforms and frameworks, capacity management, and launch reviews.

  • Maintain services once they are live by measuring and supervising availability, latency, and overall system health.

  • Operate and optimize GPU workloads across AWS, GCP, Azure, OCI, and private clouds.

  • Scale systems sustainably through mechanisms like automation and evolve systems by pushing for changes that improve reliability and velocity.
