  • Run incident response bridges with engineers, leadership, and other stakeholders, keeping teams aligned on priorities, active workstreams, and next steps.

  • Translate complex technical and operational issues into clear business impacts and risks while maintaining detailed records of incident timelines, decisions, actions, and resolutions.

  • Contribute to blameless post-incident reviews, supporting root cause investigations and identifying actions that improve resiliency.

  • Analyze production incident data and trends, and lead projects that improve incident response processes, data collection, and reporting.

  • Participate in an on-call rotation that includes work outside standard business hours.

What you’ll bring

  • Experience in Incident Management within a technology-driven environment, including leading incident response bridges with engineers, leadership, and cross-functional stakeholders.

  • The ability to prioritize competing work based on urgency, customer impact, and business risk.

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical and operational information clearly to different audiences.

  • The ability to remain calm, focused, and decisive while solving problems and collaborating with teams in high-pressure situations.
