• Negotiate technical tradeoffs with stakeholders to meet business SLAs.
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to peers and junior engineers; promote best practices and standards across the team.
• Maintain documentation and process discipline for the systems and incidents you own.

• Strong working English, verbal & written communication. Strong documentation and process discipline.
• On-call & incident handling experience during high-traffic events.
• Comfortable negotiating with stakeholders to propose technical compromises that meet business SLAs.
