About The Role
We are seeking a Lead Site Reliability Engineer and NOC Lead to spearhead production reliability and operational excellence across our platform.
In this senior position, you will be accountable for the reliability, availability, observability, and operational maturity of k-ID’s systems while leading the Network Operations Center (NOC) function. Your role extends beyond merely responding to incidents; you will build systems, processes, tools, and team standards that minimize incident frequency and severity, ensuring rapid resolution when they occur.
This role surpasses our senior NOC hires, as we need someone capable of establishing the operational model for the NOC, enhancing technical standards for incident management, collaborating closely with engineering leadership, and driving the long-term reliability roadmap for the business. You should be adept at transitioning between hands-on technical tasks, operational leadership, incident command, and team development.
