As a **Senior Production Engineer**, you will play a leading role in designing and operating reliable, scalable systems for Veeam's Data Cloud platform. You will own high‑impact production efficiency, automation, and documentation initiatives, drive reliability and observability improvements, and own or participate in the full incident lifecycle — from on‑call response, through mitigation, to leading post‑incident reviews and driving improvements across support and development teams.
You will work as part of a team of skilled engineers, collaborating with support and development as a senior bridge and driving force for change. You will communicate with product managers and security professionals to ensure our services are production‑ready, performant, and fault‑tolerant, and that we rapidly incorporate user feedback into improvements.
- Own the reliability, performance, and operability of complex, business‑critical production services and workflows.
- Own complex and escalated production issues from support, and drive long‑term fixes in collaboration with engineering, including code, configuration, and architecture changes.
- Proactively identify and address systemic risks that are identified during the problem‑solving process, and convert them into long‑term engineering improvements.
- Lead production efficiency initiatives, and define, develop, and maintain processes, run‑books, and knowledge base integrity across multiple services or domains.
- *Operational Excellence**
- Define, build, and maintain production monitoring systems for critical services, ensuring deep visibility into system health and user experience.
- Continuously improve alerting to minimize noise and ensure actionable, well‑documented runbooks with clearly owned responses.
- Define and maintain SLIs/SLOs for key services, and use error budgets to guide operational and product decisions, influencing priorities where necessary.
- Turn manual processes into robust automation, and champion automation patterns and tooling adoption across teams.
- Own and drive the post‑mortem review process and actions arising from incident analysis, ensuring high‑quality follow‑up and measurable reliability improvements.
- Collaborate with the support organization as a senior escalation point and systematically feed back knowledge, tooling enhancements, and improvement recommendations.
- Collaborate with developers throughout the lifecycle of changes, from design through rollout and patch delivery, ensuring safe deployments and efficient incident mitigation.
- Lead or significantly contribute to design reviews to ensure services are operable with minimal manual intervention in production (automation, safe deployments, clear run‑books, resilience patterns), and share learnings through documentation and feedback.
- Mentor and coach other engineers in production engineering practices (observability, incident handling, automation, design for failure), helping to raise the operational bar across the organization.
- *What We Are Looking For**
- 5–8\+ years of experience in software engineering, site reliability, production engineering, or senior technical support roles operating distributed systems.
- Experience with log analysis and advanced troubleshooting in complex production environments.
- Strong programming experience (e.g., JS, Go, Typescript, Java, or C\#).
