About this role
What you will do
Design, build, and operate the shared platform foundations engineers ship on every day: GCP infrastructure, Kubernetes, networking, routing, CI/CD, and observability.
Diagnose and troubleshoot complex distributed systems running at high request volume.
Ensure observability and analyze the behavior of our stack.
Contribute to in-flight work like modernizing our edge, caching, and gateway layers onto Fastly and tightening observability across the platform.
Raise the reliability bar through better dashboards, alert severity, paging standards, on-call readiness, and incident response.
Make deployment boring in the best way: build golden paths, production readiness checks, safe rollouts, and useful automation so engineers have fewer places to look before they ship.
Mentor engineers and raise the technical bar through code review, design review, and pairing.
Participate in our on-call rotation and help our developer on-call rollout land well.
