  • Act as a lead Incident Commander (TDO on-call), develop response playbooks, and conduct deep-dive post-incident analyses
  • Partner with Engineering and partner teams to conduct operability reviews

Requirements:

  • Foundational understanding of AI/ML technologies and experience leveraging, securing, or positioning AI-driven solutions
  • 4 years of experience managing reliability, scalability, and availability for large-scale production services with deep expertise in programming (e.g., Python, Go, or C/C++)
  • Strong background in networking protocols, Linux/FreeBSD systems, and distributed architecture
  • Experience in high-stakes incident management and participation in a 24/7 on-call rotation
  • Proficiency in leveraging ITIL frameworks and incident data to drive service maturity through systematic problem management and technical operability reviews
