Together, let's elevate the reliability of our Cutover Enterprise platform to new heights.

As the founding member your first task will be to begin building our reliability team. You will use your experience to turbo charge the reliability of our product supporting our clients 24/7

As a Lead Reliability Engineer, here's what you'll be up to:

• Line management: you will be the people manager and mentor for junior team members
• System Reliability: Lead efforts to enhance the reliability and performance of our application and systems, ensuring optimal uptime and minimal disruptions.
• Monitoring and Alerting: Implement and maintain robust monitoring solutions using Datadog to proactively identify and address potential issues before they impact users.
