Desired Skills and Experience
- Lead high complexity projects from scoping to deployment to production
- Develop effective tools, monitors, and playbooks to identify and address reliability risks
- Work closely with search engineers to triage production issues and determine appropriate remediation including code changes and performance considerations
- Share the burden of on call responsibilities - collaborating with other engineers to triage and fix reliability issues that come up in production and autonomously put out fires that may come up
- Help determine the future technical direction of our deployment with an effort to improve reliability and performance
- As a global team we communicate with a variety of tools throughout the day (synchronous and asynchronous). You should feel comfortable with the intricacies of this type of work situation.
- Sometimes we meet up! You can expect to travel at least 2x a year: once for our all-hands meetup and another for a team retreat (each ~4-5 days)
- We want to have a major impact on raising the standard of trust online. To do this we believe in a focused approach, with company-wide objectives, and with each team member working on a single top priority at a time.
- Our work philosophy is built upon empowered project management. All team members have opportunities to run projects.
- All projects are run transparently, and we encourage everyone to participate in areas of interest throughout the company. Anyone and everyone can (and should) ask questions and offer feedback around the product and internal projects.
- We try to exemplify our values (build trust, question assumptions, and validate direction) in everything we do.
