• Create and update runbooks, workflows, and operational documentation to ensure consistent and reliable responses to recurring issues, collaborating with product teams to enhance coverage over time.

• Develop, maintain, and improve automation scripts and tools that streamline common remediation tasks, enhance response times, and minimize manual operational overhead.

• Leverage metrics, logs, and tracing tools (Grafana/Prometheus, GCP Monitoring, OpenTelemetry) to proactively identify issues, validate system behavior, and support the continuous enhancement of detection mechanisms.

• Serve as the central communication point during active incidents, ensuring prompt updates and proper routing to the appropriate product engineering and SRE stakeholders.

• Work alongside reliability and product teams to share insights, suggest improvements, and refine processes that enhance the stability and operability of our systems.

• Participate in a shared weekend on-call rotation to maintain operational coverage for production systems, responding to incidents and escalations as necessary and coordinating with engineering teams when issues arise.
