Software Engineer, Triage

Site Reliability Engineering is a newly created engineering discipline in the company. Its charter is to

• Triage all production issues and devise remedies to stabilize the problem until engineering can rollout proper remediation
• Devise metrics to provide baselines where engineering can work to ensure that our platform achieves 95% uptime
• Build tools and infrastructure that promote early detection of production failures, leading to a stellar customer experience

Our work is to drive safety, health and uptime of our platform, and the ability to remedy unforeseen problems. By removing some of the complex burdens in how to scale and maintain uptime in distributed systems, SRE allows development teams to focus on feature development instead of the nuances of achieving and maintaining service level commitments.

• Collaborate with Product, Engineering, and DevOps to propose, develop and maintain application performance monitoring tools to forecast the next problem spot and to keep with our service level commitment
• Automate internal processes and develop bots to keep our Product and Engineering focused on delivering the next technological breakthrough for our customers
