Build and implement application observability and platform monitoring tools to continuously improve the customer experience. Eliminate toil by automating processes, tuning alerts, and improving code where it is most needed. Frequently evaluate new ideas and trends to identify potentially useful tools and techniques. Collaborate with different functional groups to identify gaps, prioritize, and resolve issues. Define, implement, and maintain SLIs and SLOs aligned with customer experience. Design and instrument SLIs such as latency, error rates, and availability across critical services. Manage and enforce error budgets to balance system reliability with product feature velocity. Improve alert quality by reducing noise and focusing on actionable, high-signal alerts. Embed with product teams to review architectures and catch reliability risks early. Share your knowledge and experience with the Engineering organization. Share your findings with technical leadership and senior management.
