Senior Site Reliability Engineer

What you would do

• Design, build, and operate the shared platform foundations engineers ship on every day: GCP infrastructure, Kubernetes, networking, routing, CI/CD, and observability.
• Diagnose and troubleshoot complex distributed systems running at high request volume.
• Ensure observability and analyze the behavior of our stack.
• Contribute to in-flight work like modernizing our edge, caching, and gateway layers onto Fastly and tightening observability across the platform.
• Raise the reliability bar through better dashboards, alert severity, paging standards, on-call readiness, and incident response.
• Make deployment boring in the best way: build golden paths, production readiness checks, safe rollouts, and useful automation so engineers have fewer places to look before they ship.
• Mentor engineers and raise the technical bar through code review, design review, and pairing.
• Participate in our on-call rotation and help our developer on-call rollout land well.
