• Demonstrated experience in Site Reliability Engineering, Production Engineering, or a similar role operating large-scale distributed systems.
• Deep expertise defining, implementing, and driving adoption of SLOs, SLIs, and error budgets across engineering organizations.
• Built and operated production Kubernetes environments supporting critical services.
• Applied OpenTelemetry to improve observability across distributed systems.
• Experience improving the reliability, scalability, and operability of production infrastructure.
• Demonstrated technical leadership influencing reliability practices across engineering teams.
• Experience performing capacity planning and performance tuning for high-throughput distributed services.
• Previous experience working on Web3 infrastructure or within a crypto-native engineering organization.
• Applied chaos engineering or fault-injection techniques to improve production resilience.
• Partnered with software engineering teams to conduct production-readiness reviews before service launches.
• Experience leading on-call operations, including defining rotations, escalation policies, and improving alert quality.

Responsibilities

• Improve deployment safety and increase delivery velocity by advancing production engineering practices.
• Establish distributed tracing across the platform to improve observability and accelerate incident investigation.
• Eliminate operational toil through automation that increases engineering efficiency and platform reliability.
• Drive adoption of meaningful SLOs, SLIs, and error budgets that guide engineering decisions and improve service health.
• Increase platform scalability and operational readiness as CCIP continues to grow.
• Strengthen Chainlink's reputation through highly available production systems while reducing operational overhead.
