Senior Software Engineer, Incident Lifecycle

Accountabilities • Design, develop, and continuously improve software services, integrations, and workflows that help teams prepare for, coordinate, respond to, and learn from technology incidents.

• Build and deploy AI-powered agents, skills, and intelligent workflows that integrate with production systems and observability tools to provide relevant context, accelerate troubleshooting, and reduce repetitive operational tasks.

• Develop solutions that improve incident investigation, mitigation, and coordination while continuously evaluating their effectiveness through feedback, performance metrics, and operational outcomes.

• Drive architectural decisions and contribute to the design of secure, resilient, scalable, and high-quality systems through technical proposals, prototypes, and code reviews.

• Take ownership of engineering initiatives from initial problem identification and solution design through implementation, deployment, measurement, and ongoing maintenance.

• Collaborate with incident responders, service owners, engineering teams, and cross-functional stakeholders to identify operational challenges and prioritize impactful improvements.

• Improve incident communication and coordination processes, ensuring the appropriate technical responders, customer-facing teams, and business stakeholders are informed and involved at the right time.

• Communicate technical strategies, project progress, architectural decisions, potential risks, and trade-offs clearly to relevant stakeholders.

• Mentor and support fellow engineers through technical guidance, knowledge sharing, constructive feedback, and collaborative problem-solving.

• Take responsibility for the reliability and operational health of developed systems, including participation in an on-call rotation and implementation of follow-up improvements.

• Contribute to the adoption of AI-assisted engineering and incident-response practices across distributed teams, improving response speed, consistency, and overall operational quality.
