  • Ensure consistent patterns for authentication/authorization, identity propagation, and secure defaults across platform components.
  • Define and own availability, latency, and reliability SLOs/SLAs for critical web platform services.
  • Build and operate observability (metrics, logs, traces), alerting, dashboards, and automated runbooks.
  • Own on call readiness, incident response, root cause analysis, and preventative remediation for business critical services.
  • Partner with privacy, legal, and security teams to ensure privacy by design, consent handling, data minimization, and compliant data usage.
  • Maintain audit ready documentation including data lineage, classifications, access controls, and operational controls.
  • Serve as the primary technical point of accountability across Web engineering, Marketing Measurement, Analytics, and Platform teams.
  • Communicate clearly with technical and business stakeholders on tradeoffs, risks, and delivery progress.
  • Embody our culture and values.

Requirements:

  • Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or related technical field AND 6+ years technical engineering experience with coding in languages including, but not limited to, C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, or Python OR equivalent experience.
  • Master's Degree in Computer Science or related technical field AND 8+ years technical engineering experience with coding in languages including, but not limited to, C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, or Python OR Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or related technical field AND 12+ years technical engineering experience with coding in languages including, but not limited to, C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, or Python OR equivalent experience.
