Work with squads to establish performance benchmarks and expectations. • Reliability & Availability Define and own SLIs/SLOs/SLAs for critical services; build alerting, runbooks, and incident response processes; lead postmortems with a blameless culture. • Observability Instrument services with distributed tracing, logging, and metrics (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, GCP Dashboards or similar); build infrastructure, define best practices, and work with each squad to ensure every service is observable before it goes to production.
