• Support ongoing improvements to triage quality and workflows, helping the team operate more efficiently as fleet complexity and scale increase
• Identify recurring issues and patterns, contributing insights that help improve system performance and reduce future incidents
• Own and maintain the Failure Mode repository, a critical system of record powering triage, self‑service, and automation workflows
• Continuously refine and evolve Failure Modes based on live issues, partnering with Operations and Engineering to improve triage quality, enable self‑service, and support downstream automation and AI‑driven workflows

We’re excited about you because…

• You have experience troubleshooting and debugging complex technical issues in fast‑paced, operational environments
