• Partner with Product, Operations, Customer Success, and Support teams to investigate and resolve complex customer issues.
• Establish and continuously improve operational practices, including observability, monitoring, alerting, runbooks, service ownership, and on-call readiness.
• Lead cross-functional investigations spanning applications, databases, integrations, infrastructure, and business processes.
• Identify recurring operational challenges and prioritize engineering investments that improve system stability, scalability, and supportability.
• Define and improve key operational metrics, including availability, reliability, incident volume, and mean time to resolution (MTTR).
• Collaborate with engineering leadership to shape team priorities, technical strategy, and long-term platform investments.

What You Need to Succeed

• 10+ years of software engineering experience, including experience leading engineering teams that own both software delivery and production operations.
• Proven success leading teams through complex production incidents and driving effective root cause analysis and long-term remediation.
• Strong technical background across distributed systems, databases, integrations, and cloud-based applications.
• Experience managing incident response processes and coordinating cross-functional stakeholders during customer-impacting events.
• Demonstrated ability to assess production issues quickly, communicate clearly under pressure, and drive teams toward resolution.
• Experience improving operational metrics such as availability, reliability, MTTR, and incident reduction.
• Strong understanding of observability, monitoring, alerting, service ownership, and operational support best practices.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate complex technical issues for engineering teams, business stakeholders, executives, and customer-facing teams.
• Experience balancing feature delivery, technical debt reduction, operational improvements, and long-term platform investments.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience leading teams that support customer-facing, business-critical platforms in highly regulated environments.
