As the organization grows, you will help define and implement best practices for availability, latency, incident response, and service-level objectives (SLOs).

This role includes participation in incident response and a 24/7 on-call rotation, with a strong mandate to **eliminate toil through automation** and continuously improve system reliability.

You will collaborate closely with frontend, backend, and platform engineers to ensure systems meet performance, reliability, and mission assurance requirements.
