You will play a pivotal role in driving systematic root cause analysis and mentoring other engineers to adopt a reliability-first design mindset across our global cloud-native ecosystem.

Where you come in:

• Architect and evolve Dexcom’s observability ecosystem, defining standards for metrics, logging, tracing, and SLO/SLA-driven reliability.
• Design, build, and operate highly available cloud infrastructure on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), focusing on performance, scalability, and security.
• Lead Kubernetes platform operations, improving cluster reliability, multi-tenant architecture, and deployment patterns.
• Diagnose and resolve complex failures across cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, policy engines, and microservices.
• Set the direction for Infrastructure as Code (IaC), defining best practices with Terraform, Pulumi, or Crossplane for automated provisioning.
• Drive automation strategy to eliminate toil, build self-service capabilities, and operationalize guardrails for compliance and cost efficiency.
• Lead major incident response and conduct deep post-incident reviews to implement remediations that prevent recurring failure categories.
• Mentor engineers and influence cross-functional practices to help teams adopt operational discipline and cloud-native best practices.
• Partner with developer teams to optimize capacity strategies and ensure the seamless delivery of high-quality solutions.

What makes you successful:

• Problem-Solver & Innovator: Proven ability to solve complex failures across distributed systems, navigating technical debt to drive long-term systematic fixes.
• Technical Maestro: Expert-level knowledge of GCP and deep Kubernetes operational mastery, setting the stage for resilient cloud-native architectures.
• Visionary Leader: Your portfolio highlights a series of well-orchestrated reliability initiatives, reflecting your flair for turning technical strategy into operational success.
• Observability Strategist: Extensive experience designing metrics pipelines and SLO frameworks that provide actionable insights and reduce MTTR.
• Automation Advocate: Advanced proficiency in Python, Go, or Bash, with a track record of building maintainable tooling that eliminates manual toil.
• Great Communicator: Exceptional skills in articulating complex technical concepts to both engineering peers and stakeholders, ensuring alignment on reliability goals.
• Analytical Architect: Apply a software engineering mindset to build, test, and maintain infrastructure code that ensures scalable and repeatable platform provisioning. Hands-on experience with modern declarative ecosystems like Pulumi, Crossplane, or similar tools is highly preferred.
• Collaborative Mentor: Strong ability to influence architectural decisions across teams while motivating and growing the technical skills of junior engineers.
• Compliance Conscious: Experience operating in regulated environments (HIPAA, ISO, or medical device) is a significant plus.
• Agile Mindset: Ability to deal with ambiguity and efficiently change plans to meet the evolving needs of the business in a fast-paced R&D environment.

Travel Required: Potential for occasional domestic or international travel.
