Key Responsibilities: Define and lead the reliability strategy for the Acquisition Platform, ensuring alignment with product, platform, and enterprise goals. Establish SLOs, SLIs, and error budgets that tie reliability targets to business outcomes and partner expectations. Shift reliability requirements into early design and development phases so resiliency, failover, and graceful degradation are architected in, not bolted on. Design reliability patterns across platform services, APIs, workflows, and dependent systems both internal and external. Architect end to end observability across the platform including metrics, structured logging, distributed tracing, and alerting. Establish monitoring standards and dashboards that provide real time visibility into platform health, partner facing services, and integration dependencies. Embed observability into platform services from design through deployment so teams can detect, diagnose, and resolve issues rapidly. Drive adoption of synthetic monitoring and canary deployments to validate production behavior proactively. Collaborate closely with the Acquisition delivery team and stakeholders to align outcomes with the reliability strategy.
