Utilize PagerDuty for effective incident management, ensuring timely response and resolution of critical issues.
Proactively identify potential bottlenecks and failure points through capacity planning and performance testing, leveraging ChaosSearch for log analysis.
Automate repetitive operational tasks using scripting languages (e.g., Python, Bash) and infrastructure-as-code tools, primarily HashiCorp Terraform, within the GCP ecosystem.
Participate in incident response, root cause analysis, and post-mortem reviews to drive continuous improvement and prevent future occurrences.
Collaborate closely with development teams to ensure that new services and features are designed, deployed, and operated with reliability and scalability in mind on GCP, including our Spanner database.
Define and maintain Service Level Objectives (SLOs) and Service Level Indicators (SLIs) to measure and track system reliability.
Contribute to the development and maintenance of CI/CD pipelines leveraging GCP services like Cloud Build and Artifact Registry.
Stay up-to-date with the latest GCP services and best practices, as well as advancements in Datadog, PagerDuty, ChaosSearch, and HashiCorp Terraform, and advocate for their adoption where appropriate.

Qualifications:

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
5+ years of experience in a Site Reliability Engineering, DevOps, or similar role.
Significant hands-on experience designing, deploying, and managing applications and infrastructure on Google Cloud Platform, including experience with Google Cloud Spanner.
Strong understanding of core SRE principles and practices, such as toil reduction, automation, monitoring, and incident management.
Proficiency in at least one scripting language (e.g., Python, Bash).
