You provide support for complex distributed systems failures, performing deep-dive root cause analysis (RCA) and writing code to ensure the same failure mode never happens twice.
  • Performance Tuning & Observability: Build the "eyes and ears" of our systems. You will implement advanced telemetry, distributed tracing, and automated alerting to maintain high availability and peak performance.
  • Replicate complex customer deployment environments to execute comprehensive system integration and stability testing.
  • Cybersecurity Compliance & Global Standards: Ensure that our systems meet/exceed strict global security standards.
Qualifications:
