WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

As the Observability SRE, you will own the end-to-end observability, monitoring, and reliability strategy across all Flinks product lines. Your mission is to ensure every product—Data Connectivity, Payments, Enrichment, and Document Services—has the right telemetry, actionable alerts, and reliability insights.

• Company-wide Observability & Monitoring: Define and maintain an observability framework across products; ensure coverage for APIs, scraping systems, payments, enrichment, and document services; establish SLIs/SLOs aligned to client expectations.
• Alerting & Incident Management: Build consistent, low-noise alerting rules; integrate observability into Incident.io workflows; lead cross-product RCA; maintain a “single source of truth” for reliability metrics.
• Reliability Analysis & Insights: Deliver monthly/quarterly scorecards linking reliability to client outcomes (e.g., churn risk, adoption blockers); analyze trends and recurring failures; translate data into executive insights.
• Automation & AI-Enabled Observability: Automate anomaly detection, escalation, and self-healing; partner with the AI team; optimize logging and monitoring spend.
• Collaboration & Enablement: Champion observability practices across teams; train PMs, QA, and Engineers; ensure insights influence roadmaps; collaborate with Tech Leadership to build observability in from the start.
