- Establish organization-wide standards, benchmarks, and release gates aligned to SLAs, SLOs, error budgets, and risk tolerance.
- Design and implement chaos engineering and resilience testing frameworks to proactively identify and mitigate systemic weaknesses.
- Partner with cloud architects and engineering leaders to challenge designs, influence architectural decisions, and ensure reliability by design.
- Oversee incident readiness and post-incident validation, ensuring corrective actions translate into measurable improvements in availability, latency, and MTTR.
- Evaluate, standardize, and evolve testing, observability, and reliability tooling, including reference architectures and best practices.
- Lead enablement and maturity uplift through mentoring, playbooks, training, and communities of practice, influencing quarterly and annual planning with reliability insights and ROI analysis.
Your skills and experience

- Strong background in observability and monitoring tools such as Splunk, Datadog, or AppDynamics.
- Proficiency in scripting or programming languages such as Python, Go, or Bash to enable automation and advanced testing scenarios.
- Demonstrated ability to mentor and influence cross-functional teams, including senior engineers and architects, without direct authority.
