- Track key metrics (e.g., MTTR, incident trends) and drive improvements
- Coordinate with Product, Commercial, and Legal on client communications when needed
- Align incident response with business priorities, including customer and revenue impact
- Improve tooling, automation, and workflows for incident response
What We’re Looking For
Experience
- 7+ years in SRE, DevOps, Technical Operations, or Incident Management
- Experience leading Sev1/Sev2 incidents in high-availability environments
- Proven ability to coordinate cross-functional teams during critical outages
Technical
- Solid understanding of distributed systems and cloud environments (AWS or GCP)
- Experience with monitoring and incident tools (e.g., Datadog, Grafana, PagerDuty)
- Comfortable working with logs, alerts, and system diagnostics

- Ability to translate technical issues into business impact
- Comfortable driving decisions and alignment under pressure

- Familiarity with SLOs/SLIs and reliability frameworks
- Experience with automation or AI-driven incident tooling
- ITIL or similar certification
