The posting

At IBM Software, we transform client challenges into solutions. Building the world's leading AI-powered, cloud-native products that shape the future of business and society. Our legacy of innovation creates endless opportunities for IBMers to learn, grow, and make an impact on a global scale. Working in Software means joining a team fueled by curiosity and collaboration. You'll work with diverse technologies, partners, and industries to design, develop, and deliver solutions that power digital transformation. With a culture that values innovation, growth, and continuous learning, IBM Software places you at the heart of IBM's product and technology landscape. Here, you'l have the tools and opportunities to advance your career while creating software that changes the world.

Confluent Cloud processes millions of events per second across AWS, GCP, and Azure. When something breaks, the incident stack has to work: the right people get paged, the incident is tracked from detection to resolution, and afterwards the data tells us what happened and where to invest. We're looking for an engineer to own that foundation.

You'll run our incident management tooling day to day, owning PagerDuty and Rootly. You'll also define how we measure incidents and turn that data into analysis that engineering leadership acts on. Roughly 75% of your time is hands-on engineering: configuration, automation, integrations and data work. The other 25% is partnering with engineering teams and incident commanders.

You'll be part of a global team with follow-the-sun coverage and clean handoffs that keep everyone working sustainable hours. This role sits within Cloud Architecture and Reliability - Supportability, a horizontal team that owns reliability standards and tooling across engineering.

What You Will Do:

•Own Rootly and PagerDuty configuration: workflows, escalation policies, schedules, services, form fields and severity definitions

•Build and maintain integrations between Rootly, PagerDuty, Jira, Confluence, Slack and our service catalog

•Define and document incident metrics (MTTD, MTTM, MTTR, volume by severity, team and root cause) so they're calculated the same way everywhere

•Build dashboards and recurring reports on incident trends, and surface repeat offenders and detection gaps

•Keep incident data accurate: audit for missing or inconsistent fields and automate fixes where possible

•Support incident commanders and on-call engineers with tooling questions, onboarding and documentation

•Write automation against vendor APIs to reduce manual incident toil

•4+ years in SRE, production operations, DevOps or a related engineering role

•Hands-on admin experience with incident or on-call tooling (PagerDuty, Rootly, Opsgenie, incident.io or similar)

•Proficiency in Python, Go or a similar language for scripting and API integrations

•Strong SQL and data analysis skills; experience building dashboards (Looker, Grafana, Tableau or similar)

•Cloud experience with at least one of AWS, GCP or Azure (we run all three)

•Clear written communication: runbooks, metric definitions, and reports for engineering leadership

•Familiarity with incident management practices: severity frameworks, post-mortems, SLOs and error budgets

•On-call or incident commander experience

•BigQuery or another cloud data warehouse

•Exposure to Kafka or distributed systems

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
