    • Design, implement, and maintain monitoring systems, alerting mechanisms, and incident response processes based on identified critical user flows.
    • Continuously analyze system behavior, identify performance bottlenecks, and propose optimization strategies specific to the SportsBook domain.
    • Develop and implement disaster recovery plans, ensuring business continuity for critical user flows.
    • Lead incident response efforts, coordinating with relevant teams to minimize service downtime and customer impact for critical user flows.
    • Conduct thorough post-incident analysis, identify root causes, and propose preventative measures to avoid future incidents.
    • Drive automation initiatives to streamline operations, increase efficiency, and reduce manual work for critical user flows.
    • Evaluate, implement, and maintain relevant tools and technologies to support monitoring, deployment, and incident management processes.
    • Champion best practices for infrastructure-as-code, configuration management, and version control systems within the context of the SportsBook domain.


    What you'll bring

    • At least 5 years of experience with cloud environments, monitoring and production observability.
    • Deep understanding of common scripting languages (Ruby, Python, Bash, Powershell).
    • Experience working with at least one object-oriented language (Java, .C#, etc.)
    • Solid understanding of SRE principles, best practices, and tools, with a focus on the SportsBook domain.
    • Experience with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, GCP) and containerization technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).
    • Working knowledge of networking and web concepts and ability to debug issues down to the packets.
    • Experience leading engineering teams and guiding technology roadmaps
    • Past experience in Incident Management and a 24x7 team managing large scale software.
    • Experience with distributed systems and the challenges with operating them as they scale.
    • Understanding of CI/CD pipelines, familiarity with Bitbucket, Bamboo, and Octopus Deploy.
