Your role and responsibilities

Confluent Cloud processes millions of events per second across AWS, GCP, and Azure. When something breaks, the incident stack has to work: the right people get paged, the incident is tracked from detection to resolution, and afterwards the data tells us what happened and where to invest. We're looking for an engineer to own that foundation.

You'll run our incident management tooling day to day, owning PagerDuty and Rootly. You'll also define how we measure incidents and turn that data into analysis that engineering leadership acts on. Roughly 75% of your time is hands-on engineering: configuration, automation, integrations and data work. The other 25% is partnering with engineering teams and incident commanders.

You'll be part of a global team with follow-the-sun coverage and clean handoffs that keep everyone working sustainable hours. This role sits within Cloud Architecture and Reliability - Supportability, a horizontal team that owns reliability standards and tooling across engineering.

What You Will Do:

• Own Rootly and PagerDuty configuration: workflows, escalation policies, schedules, services, form fields and severity definitions
• Build and maintain integrations between Rootly, PagerDuty, Jira, Confluence, Slack and our service catalog
• Define and document incident metrics (MTTD, MTTM, MTTR, volume by severity, team and root cause) so they're calculated the same way everywhere
• Build dashboards and recurring reports on incident trends, and surface repeat offenders and detection gaps
• Keep incident data accurate: audit for missing or inconsistent fields and automate fixes where possible
• Support incident commanders and on-call engineers with tooling questions, onboarding and documentation
• Write automation against vendor APIs to reduce manual incident toil

Required education

Bachelor's Degree

Preferred education

Master's Degree

• 4+ years in SRE, production operations, DevOps or a related engineering role
• Hands-on admin experience with incident or on-call tooling (PagerDuty, Rootly, Opsgenie, incident.io or similar)
• Proficiency in Python, Go or a similar language for scripting and API integrations
• Strong SQL and data analysis skills; experience building dashboards (Looker, Grafana, Tableau or similar)
• Cloud experience with at least one of AWS, GCP or Azure (we run all three)
• Clear written communication: runbooks, metric definitions, and reports for engineering leadership

• Familiarity with incident management practices: severity frameworks, post-mortems, SLOs and error budgets
• On-call or incident commander experience
• BigQuery or another cloud data warehouse
• Exposure to Kafka or distributed systems
