Job description

I'm hiring an SDE to help me modernize AAA services the team owns. You'll own a major part of what we run - designing, building, and operating the components and features. Concretely, that spans rebuilding a core security service on native AWS, tightening how access to our management network is governed, and hardening the environment engineers use to reach devices. Key job responsibilities * Own major AAA component: Take a major part of what we run and own it from design through build and day-to-day operation * Invent and simplify: Bring ideas for making these systems better, safer, and simpler — spot the debt and risk worth paying down, propose the fix, and drive it. I'm not looking for someone who waits for a ticket. * Drive operational excellence: Share on-call, and raise the bar for how the team runs on-call — the culture, the tooling, the follow-through. A day in the life Daily standup, weekly Ops Review and Show & Tell. If you're oncall, you own the queue.
