The role:

As a Senior Staff Site Reliability Engineer, you’ll play a pivotal role in collaboration with senior and staff+ engineers to spearhead a comprehensive, long-term tech roadmap aimed at enhancing reliability, ensuring scalability, minimizing risk, and propelling the organization toward transformative advancements in operational sustainability.
