• Contribute to the development and maintenance of incident response playbooks to ensure preparedness for various failure scenarios.
• Participate in communication efforts during incidents, updating stakeholders and keeping clear records of incident activities.

Operational Support & Reliability:

• Monitor system performance and health using tools like Prometheus and Grafana, identifying any performance issues or potential incidents.
• Help implement automation and process improvements to enhance efficiency and reduce manual intervention in incident detection and recovery.
• Support the development of KPIs and SLAs for incident management and ensure alignment with team goals.
• Collaborate with engineers across teams to improve platform reliability, resilience improvements, and disaster recovery.

Team Collaboration & Development:

• Work closely with other engineers to troubleshoot system issues, refine workflows, and support ongoing operational needs.
• Participate in knowledge-sharing activities, helping improve team processes and learning from senior team members.

Take part in training and mentorship opportunities to build technical skills and grow into more advanced responsibilities within the team.

Required Qualifications:

• 4 years of experience in cloud operations, site reliability engineering (SRE), or related technical roles.
• Understanding of cloud platforms (e.g., Kubernetes, AWS, GCP) and basic knowledge of cloud infrastructure.
• Familiarity with incident management practices and frameworks (e.g., ITIL, SRE best practices).
• Experience with monitoring and alerting tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana) or willingness to learn.
• Basic experience with scripting or automation tools (e.g., Python, Bash, Terraform, Ansible).
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts clearly and concisely to both technical and non-technical team members.

Ability to work in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment while learning and adapting quickly.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Exposure to Kubernetes, containerization, and distributed systems.
• Familiarity with change management processes and post-incident analysis.
