You stay up at night thinking about how to protect the service from upstream dependencies. You will be technically strong and get a lot done – you’ve worked on services that are highly available, scalable, and redundant. You understand that simple systems are easier to operate and troubleshoot. You can balance speed and quality with iteration and incremental improvements. You’ve made life easier for your developers and have motivated your teams to make both process and service improvements with your ability to automate and instrument properly to get the right data. You understand operational perfection and how to instill a culture of being proactive with your teammates. The person in this role will get a lot done on a daily basis, grow and develop the team and roadmap, drive execution of features and projects, and own feature design.

We understand that software is living and needs investment. The challenge is making the right trade-offs, communicating those decisions effectively, and crisp execution. We need managers who can lead their team to build services that handle millions of requests per second.
