- Lead the Site Reliability / Infrastructure Engineering team, setting the technical vision and execution roadmap for reliability, scalability, and availability.

- Design and operate highly available, fault-tolerant infrastructure systems that support mission-critical services.

- Own and evolve CI/CD, release, and deployment reliability with strong focus on stability, rollback, and blast-radius reduction.

- Drive adoption of cloud-native and distributed systems practices (Kubernetes, AWS, multi-region architectures, service monitoring and alerting).

- Partner with engineering leaders to define and enforce SLOs, SLIs, error budgets, and reliability standards across the organization.

- Champion best practices in incident management, on-call excellence, postmortems, and continuous improvement.

- Lead capacity planning, performance engineering, and cost optimization initiatives at scale.

- Mentor senior engineers, build strong on-call and operations culture, and foster engineering rigor and ownership.

What You Will Need :

- Proven track record of leading small teams, mentoring engineers, and driving large-scale initiatives.

- A background in Google Summer of Code (GSoC) or any open-source software (OSS) contributions would be a huge plus.

- Alternatively, having built something really cool to solve a difficult pain point for engineers or anything that helped ship things faster for the company or the OSS community would also be great.

- Strong communication and ability to influence cross-functional stakeholders.
