Join Zscaler to be a force multiplier for the reliability of a global platform protecting over 15 million users. In this role, you will provide the technical vision and hands-on execution to drive an "automation-first" culture across the company. By maturing our observability and architectural standards, you will directly reduce our Mean Time to Mitigate (MTTM) and shape the scalability of our globally distributed, multi-cloud infrastructure. What you’ll do (Role Expectations) - Design and implement highly available, scalable infrastructure across AWS, Azure, GCP, and bare-metal environments - Drive an "automation-first" culture by writing code (Python/Go) to eliminate manual toil and build self-healing systems - Implement and maintain sophisticated observability (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry), define SLIs/SLOs, and establish error budgets - Act as a lead Incident Commander (TDO on-call), develop response playbooks, and conduct deep-dive post-incident analyses - Partner with Engineering and partner teams to conduct operability reviews Who You Are (Success Profile) - You thrive in ambiguity. You're comfortable building the path as you walk it. You thrive in a dynamic environment, seeing ambiguity not as a hindrance, but as the raw material to build something meaningful. - You act like an owner. Your passion for the mission fuels your bias for action. You operate with integrity because you genuinely care about the outcome.
