• Implement Service Level Objectives (SLOs) and Service Level Indicators (SLIs) to measure and monitor the reliability and performance of our data and ML pipelines, ensuring that they meet agreed-upon targets.
• Collaborate with the performance engineering team to design and implement performance regression test suites tailored to data and ML workloads, ensuring that system performance is continuously monitored and optimized in these critical areas.
• Take ownership of the reliability and performance of our codebase, providing support to internal and external users as needed, particularly in the context of data processing and ML applications.
• Collaborate closely with subject matter experts to gain domain-specific insights into data and ML pipelines and document system designs and configurations accordingly.
• Utilize tools like Jira, Datadog, and GitHub to manage projects, track issues, and collaborate effectively with team members, with a focus on supporting data-intensive workflows.
• Define success metrics and monitor system performance to ensure that our solutions meet or exceed reliability and performance targets, especially in the context of data processing and ML applications.
• Proactively identify and address potential reliability issues before they impact system performance, with a particular emphasis on maintaining the integrity and efficiency of our data and ML pipelines.
• Perform other duties, as assigned
