productivity.
Preferred Qualifications
Lead major developer-impacting escalations by coordinating engineering response, stakeholder communication, root cause analysis, and long-term corrective actions.
Influence service direction through developer feedback, operational experience, and cross-functional planning.
Build cross-functional partnerships across engineering, developer support, communications, and business organizations to improve service delivery and execute strategic initiatives.
Measure service health, developer experience, and adoption to identify improvement opportunities and provide data-driven recommendations to leadership.
Develop documentation, training, and technical guidance that enable stable, reliable, and performant use of QA SRE services.
Minimum Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience and 3+ years of experience
Partner with QA SRE, engineering teams, architects, and developer organizations to improve the quality, reliability, usability, and adoption of QA SRE services.
Advocate for alignment between developer needs and engineering priorities by capturing developer feedback, operational learnings, and support trends to inform future service improvements.
Drive service improvements by identifying recurring issues, gathering requirements, and translating developer and operational feedback into actionable engineering recommendations.
Coordinate service launches, release readiness, developer communications, documentation, and operational readiness to support successful adoption of new capabilities.
Design scalable operational processes, automation, and self-service capabilities that improve operational efficiency and developer experience.
