Responsibilities
Be a technical leader for your team, setting the standards for engineering best practices and operational excellence. Lead projects that require the work of multiple engineers, combining new and existing hardware, software, systems, processes, and tooling appropriate to the task.
Design technology solutions and architectures that solve complex business or technical problems related to server system testability, reliability, and diagnosis. Decompose difficult problems into straightforward tasks, components, or features that can be delivered in parallel by you and others.
Own your team’s systems, proactively identifying and fixing extant risks, limitations, and deficiencies. Work to reduce complexity and enable greater agility for your team and partner teams.
Partner with your manager and other team leaders to develop your team’s technical strategy. Be a key influencer in team strategy and goals, including influencing Technical Program Managers and Product Managers.
Resolve the contributing causes of endemic problems, including architectural deficiencies and areas where your team limits the innovation of other teams. This may require influencing software and systems decisions made by other teams.
Lead reviews of architecture, design, operations, process, or post-incident analysis for your team, and actively participate in those of other teams. Your process improvements enable teams in your organization to deliver more resilient products with less effort.
Deliver solutions using the most appropriate combination of hardware, software, systems design, architecture, process, or operations. When the most appropriate solution requires expertise you lack, own the problem but partner with experts in other job families.
Effectively communicate technical designs and decisions in writing. Produce exemplary artifacts including code, designs, documentation, and runbooks that are straightforward for others to adopt, maintain, and extend.
Actively hire and develop others, coaching and mentoring throughout your organization. When eligible, provide support with technical assessments for promotions, ensuring these processes are unbiased and inclusive.
Bring perspective and provide context for current technology choices and guide future technology choices for your team. Identify strategic opportunities that solve tactical problems and determine when to invest in one over the other for greatest impact.
