Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond. Responsibilities Technical Knowledge and Domain-Specific Expertise -Demonstrates expertise in distributed systems design, interactions between cloud technology layers and components, common dependencies at scale, and the code that defines infrastructures. Can identify and recommend configurations optimal of cloud technology solutions and modify the code base that defines systems or cloud technologies to improve the reliability and operability of supported products with minimal guidance from other engineers. -Develops an understanding of the code, features, and operations of specific products at scale as required to contribute to incremental improvements in product availability, reliability, efficiency, observability, and/or performance; participates in on-boarding, code/design reviews, and regular meetings with the engineering teams that develop and/or manage those products. -Researches and maintains an awareness in industry trends, advances in distributed systems and cloud technologies, new tools, and/or processes for maintaining and improving product availability, reliability, efficiency, observability, and/or performance. Contributes to the implementation of new solutions within their team by identifying ways they can be applied to solve persistent problems. Contributions to Development and Design -Leverages technical expertise in large scale distributed systems and specific products, as well as objective insights drawn from analyses of production telemetry data to suggest changes or add-ons to product features or code to improve the availability, reliability, efficiency, observability, and performance of product components or features supported by their team. -Develops and tests basic changes to optimize code and improve the observability, reliability and operability of a defined range of platform, system, or product components or features with direction from other engineers. -Engages with product engineering teams by participating code/design reviews, regular meetings, on-call rotations and incident responses throughout product development and operations cycles; leverages technical expertise on underlying systems/platforms and insights drawn from engagements with product engineering teams and telemetry analyses to propose potential improvements in code base and designs across components and features of one or more products. Driving Operational Excellence -Independently develops code or scripts that automate the performance of repetitive and easily scalable operations processes (e.g., monitoring, alerting, deploying products and updates) across components and features of products operating at scale. -Leverages technical expertise and telemetry analysis across a range of components and/or features to identify patterns and opportunities to implement configuration and data changes for one or more platforms, systems, or products in production using code, tooling, and automation. -Identifies opportunities to leverage existing tools and automation to enable product engineering teams to increase the velocity in which they can reliably and safely implement changes in production; monitors the effects of changes across multiple components or features within a single platform or system. -Designs, develops, and maintains telemetry pipelines and monitoring tools that detail operations metrics (e.g., availability, reliability, performance, efficiency) of product components and features operating at scale. Independently performs analyses using existing tools and/or models to identify insights and shares them with product engineering teams to directly contribute to improvements in product development and/or operations; monitors the impact of changes on operations metrics (e.g., Time-to-X). -Independently uses existing tools and/or models to troubleshoot problems or flaws affecting the availability, reliability, performance, and/or efficiency of components and features; proposes solutions that will resolve and prevent recurring issues.
