This is a software engineering role, where you’ll be building systems and the culture that removes manual on-call work, fixes the underlying causes of alerts, and gives engineers a clear view of system health. You'll work with every team and work with leadership to decide where things go..
ResponsibilitiesDesign and build software that removes manual on-call intervention and recurring sources of toil.
