- Implement and improve observability solutions - including service level indicators, service level objectives, and alerting - using tools such as OpenTelemetry, Grafana, Splunk, and Dynatrace
- Monitor and maintain Kafka-based data ingestion pipelines, ensuring data integrity, throughput, and resilience across payment processing flows
- Identify and eliminate toil through systems engineering, automation, and application code improvements, with a focus on measurable reliability outcomes
- Apply enterprise-authorized AI capabilities to accelerate incident triage, troubleshooting, post-incident analysis, and runbook drafting, while validating outputs and handling operational data in accordance with security and sensitivity requirements
- Leverage AI agentic models and MCP-based frameworks to identify recurring reliability risks from operational signals, prioritizing improvements that drive measurable service level objective outcomes
Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills- Formal training or certification on site reliability engineering concepts and 2+ years applied experience
- Ability to code in at least one programming language, with the ability to write automation scripts and contribute to reliability tooling
- Experience maintaining cloud-based infrastructure, including deployment, scaling, and operational support
- Familiarity with site reliability concepts, principles, and practices, including toil reduction and error budget management
- Familiarity with observability practices such as white and black box monitoring, service level objective alerting, and telemetry collection
- Familiarity with containers or a common server operating system such as Linux or Windows
- Emerging knowledge of continuous integration and continuous delivery practices and related tooling
- Working knowledge of using enterprise-authorized AI capabilities to support site reliability engineering workflows, with strong validation habits and awareness of data sensitivity
