• Drive production operational excellence: set up granular telemetry (metrics, traces, logs), define SLOs, and participate in on-call incident response
• Conduct blameless root cause analyses (RCAs) for production issues and ship permanent software mitigations to eliminate recurring failure modes
• Partner with Product Managers, Architects, and Quality Engineers to break down business requirements into deliverable engineering milestones
