- Take part in a team on-call rotation, providing out-of-hours support for live systems when required.
- Build and operate monitoring, logging, alerting, and on-call tooling that enables fast detection, diagnosis, and recovery.
- Drive incident response and post-incident learning, translating root causes into durable fixes and preventative controls.
- Design and deliver automation for fleet operations, deployments, and repetitive workflows to reduce manual intervention.
- Partner closely with Vehicle SW, operations, and platform teams to define SLOs, reliability metrics, and release readiness.
- Continuously harden the production environment through capacity planning, change management, and reliability-focused reviews.
