In this role, your background in incident response and management will be central to your success. You will guide PIR debriefs with structure and neutrality, ask insightful questions to uncover root causes, ensure remediation action items don’t fall through the cracks, and bring a forward-thinking mindset to leverage Generative AI and modern automation to make our incident learning workflows faster, lighter, and more productive for engineers.

Minimum Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience in Incident Management, Major Incident Management (MIM), Incident Response, or Technical Support Operations.

• Hands-on experience managing operational action items, incident remediation tracking, or process governance using ticketing systems (e.g., ServiceNow, Jira, or equivalent platforms).

• Proven track record drafting incident documentation, executive status updates, operational runbooks, or post-incident summaries.

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience.

Preferred Qualifications

• Strong meeting facilitation and communication skills, with the poise to lead structured, blameless debriefs with senior engineers and leadership.
