What you'll do:

• Respond to automated alerts and execute playbooks.
• Manage ongoing incidents, using your understanding of Shopify to involve the right teams and resolve as quickly as possible.
• Clean up the noise in our signals, ensuring we can get an understanding of the system and debug a problem easily.
• Set the standards with teams for building resilient, debuggable systems.
• Ensure we never fail for the same reason twice.
• Follow up on each incident to ensure the appropriate action items are in place and prioritized.
• Help teams build tools to automate the toil of on call duties.

Qualifications

• Based in Japan, Singapore, Australia or India.
• You have experience handling on call shifts for mission-critical systems.
• You have been responsible for the tools and processes used to debug and correct failures in those systems.
• You reject the idea that on call has to be a terrible, disruptive experience.
• You are a generalist developer who is comfortable with multiple languages such as C, Rust, Ruby, and Go.
• You have done hands-on development with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCE, Azure, Kubernetes, Docker).

Nice to have but not necessary:

• You have handled multiple on call shifts, and have navigated more than one incident through to the retrospective process.
• You have experience working with a variety of open-source software including nginx, redis, Memcached and MySQL.
• You have familiarity with network and web protocols, from IP to HTTP.
