Architect and implement comprehensive monitoring, logging, and alerting solutions to ensure proactive issue detection.
Participate in the 24/7 on-call rotation.
Drive post-mortem analysis and ensure follow-up actions are implemented.
Required Qualifications:
5+ years of experience in a Site Reliability, DevOps, or Software Engineering role with a focus on infrastructure.
