What You’ll Do (Responsibilities)
- Establish release gates in CI/CD (tests/coverage, static checks, feature flags, canary/shadow) and clear rollback/kill-switch triggers.
- Implement SRE fundamentals: 3–5 SLOs (e.g., data freshness, job success rate, API latency/availability, exception closure time) with an error-budget policy.
- Enforce Change & Exceptions Logs; drive post-mortems (Sev-1/2) with action items and owners.
- Pair with Quant to harden AI index safety (model/versioning, parity tests, drift/health alerts).
- Produce concise runbooks & dashboards; coach engineering leads; hand back the system.
What You Won’t Do (Scope guardrails)
- No day-to-day people management or sprint ownership.
- No wallet signatory or payment approvals.

- Experience shipping data/ML systems or MLOps basics (versioning, parity tests, safe rollout).
- Excellent technical writing and async collaboration.
- Nice-to-have
- Smart-contract security/audit handoffs; keys/secrets/multisig hygiene.
- Prior work with index/market-data pipelines or exchange connectivity.
Success Metrics (first 90 days)

- Hygiene: 100% prod changes pre-logged; Sev-1 post-mortems with actions ≤72h; SLOs live and reported monthly.
- Adoption: release gates and runbooks in use by named owners without advisor involvement.
Collaboration

How to Apply
- Share:
- 1) a redacted SLO doc you authored
- 2) a redacted incident/runbook you wrote, 3) two sentences on your biggest reliability turnaround and the gate you added afterward.
