Desirable

• The Engineering Availability Standards position is a critical role designed for a seasoned engineering veteran who has experience managing, leading, or coordinating with high-scale cloud services
• Your mission is to transform how we calculate, visualize, and act upon platform health data. You will serve as the technical bridge between our global availability standards and the distributed engineering teams that power our infrastructure
• You will be responsible for shifting our monitoring strategy from simple reporting into active, high-fidelity signals that engineering teams use for real-time alerting and incident response
• Utilize software engineering skills and production experience to provide input into long-range platform requirements and operational guidelines, with a focus on making health data actionable for service owners
• Analyze and understand how service teams manage their telemetry, and help drive continuous improvement of health signals based on the knowledge of specific service architectures
• Partner with internal engineering teams to integrate global availability standards into their existing monitoring pipelines, dashboards, and automated alerting flows
• Identify and mitigate friction in the onboarding process by leveraging existing automated test suites to create high-quality, streamlined reliability signals with minimal manual effort
• Serve as a technical subject matter expert to ensure that centralized infrastructure services (logging, monitoring, and data platforms) are optimized to support the needs of individual service owners
• Quarterback the integration of failure signals into standard engineering workflows, ensuring that detected issues result in automated work items and proactive investigations
• Deliver presentations highlighting availability metrics, reliability trends, and success stories to diverse engineering and leadership audiences
