• Implement and improve our general site reliability posture (error and downtime budgets, MTTD and MTTR improvements, improving alerting and notifications, minimizing customer impact from incidents, etc.)
• Respond to and troubleshoot downtime events while actively developing safeguards to prevent them.
• Participate in brainstorming sessions with the engineering team and contribute ideas to our technology and algorithms.

Qualifications:
