You design and deliver technology solutions which solve difficult business problems. You identify and solve ambiguous problems, architectural deficiencies, or areas where your team’s systems hinder the innovation of other teams, and are learning to do this for other teams in your organization. You work autonomously, but may seek direction at times from peers and your manager. You consider the legacy of the systems you build with your team and how they will scale and evolve over time. Your solutions are pragmatic, efficient, and cost-effective. You make appropriate trade-offs and re-use or extend prior work where possible. When faced with short-term workarounds, you either avoid them entirely, take action to replace them with long-term solutions, or escalate their over-use as necessary. You thoroughly test your work. You consistently write clear, accurate, and concise documentation for your own solutions and improve your team’s existing documentation.

Key job responsibilities
You consistently demonstrate operational excellence in all facets of your work. You deeply understand your team’s systems and can thoroughly diagnose problems in all aspects of operations, including hardware, software, and operating environments. You work to resolve the root cause of difficult performance, reliability, or availability issues and deliver innovative solutions, leaving systems better than when you found them. You learn how your team’s components behave as part of the larger organizational system, and how to analyze systems to identify operational risks at the product or service level. You improve your team’s operational health by participating in design, operations and post-incident reviews to identify risks to resilience. You then deliver projects that mitigate those risks. You may improve operational excellence across teams and provide guidance to peers outside your own team.
