Platform Reliability Technical Lead

Platform Reliability Technical Lead

When the engineer on shift cannot work out why the chain is doing what it is doing they call you.

This is the deepest technical seat on the team. Final escalation across the whole production estate and the person who sets how the team works: runbooks that are current alerting that fires on something real postmortems that change something.

You would work closely with the protocol engineers because the hard problems here tend to be protocol behavior rather than infrastructure and they get solved faster when both sides are on the same call.

Very little of what you find in production will have a precedent you can look up. This role exists so that someone excellent can stay technical rather than move into management.

Qualifications :

You will need

• Serious depth in reliability or production engineering. You are already the person others escalate to.
• Kubernetes Terraform and Helm at the level where you debug them.
• Distributed systems where state matters and restarting is not a strategy.
• To write things down. If the only record of how the platform works is in your head nothing has been fixed.

Useful not essential

• Blockchain node operations.
• You have read consensus client source to explain a production behavior.
