• Translate business‑level reliability goals into concrete technical metrics that can be instrumented, measured, and reported.
• Facilitate workshops, design reviews, and joint planning sessions to ensure mutual understanding of reliability expectations.

Instrumentation & Monitoring Development

• Instrument application code, infrastructure, and platform services to capture SLO‑related telemetry at scale.
• Develop and maintain automated pipelines that ingest, aggregate, and visualize SLO data in real time.
• Build alerting and incident‑response playbooks that trigger when SLO thresholds are breached.

Automation & Remediation

Cross‑Team Collaboration

• Partner with service engineering, platform reliability, and product teams to align customer‑defined SLOs with arenaflex’s internal reliability targets.
• Drive the creation of shared telemetry signals that provide a unified view of performance across the stack.
• Advocate for reliability improvements in product roadmaps based on real‑world SLO data and trends.

Data Analysis & Continuous Improvement

• Analyze historical SLO performance to identify patterns, emerging risks, and opportunities for optimization.
• Produce regular reliability reports for customers, highlighting successes, areas for improvement, and actionable recommendations.
• Lead initiatives to refine SLO definitions, adjust thresholds, and evolve monitoring strategies as workloads evolve.

Documentation & Knowledge Sharing

• Maintain comprehensive documentation of customer‑specific SLOs, SLIs, monitoring architectures, and remediation processes.
• Contribute to internal knowledge bases, best‑practice guides, and training materials to spread reliability expertise across arenaflex.
• Mentor junior engineers and share insights through brown‑bag sessions, webinars, and community forums.

• Demonstrated expertise in building and managing SLOs and SLIs for enterprise‑grade cloud customers.
• Minimum 2 years of experience in an external client‑facing role, with a track record of translating technical concepts into business value.
• Strong programming or scripting skills (e.g., Python, Go, PowerShell, Bash) for instrumentation and automation.
• Proficiency with observability stacks (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, Azure Monitor, OpenTelemetry) and experience building dashboards and alerting rules.
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to influence senior technical and business stakeholders.
• Ability to obtain and maintain arenaflex Cloud security clearances and pass periodic background checks.

• Additional 2+ years of direct customer‑facing experience in a consulting or professional services capacity.
• Experience with large‑scale distributed systems, microservices architectures, and container orchestration platforms (Kubernetes, Docker Swarm).
• Familiarity with SLO‑driven reliability frameworks such as Google’s SRE book, or the “Four Golden Signals” methodology.
• Prior involvement in building or operating a public‑cloud observability platform at scale.
• Certifications related to cloud reliability (e.g., arenaflex Certified SRE, Certified Kubernetes Administrator).
