Job Responsibilities

Serves as the technical authority for Problem Management-led Root Cause Analysis (RCA) reviews across Major Incidents and significant service-impacting events.
Leads deep-dive RCA challenge sessions, validating technical findings, contributing factors, causal relationships, and corrective actions through evidence-based analysis.
Independently assesses the quality and accuracy of investigations, ensuring conclusions are technically sound, complete, defensible, and focused on long-term reliability outcomes.
Drives a culture of blameless accountability by identifying systemic causes, resilience gaps, and opportunities to improve operational performance and engineering practices.
Collaborates with engineering teams to evaluate observability, monitoring, telemetry, automation, and resilience capabilities and recommend reliability improvements for complex distributed systems.
Validates that corrective actions address underlying causes and materially reduce the likelihood and impact of recurrence while driving closure and effectiveness reviews.
Provides independent technical review and challenge of internal, vendor, and third-party investigation reports to ensure findings, recommendations, and risk assessments are comprehensive and actionable.
Uses enterprise-authorized AI capabilities within the work environment to accelerate reliability design and operational decisioning (e.g., incident/post-incident analysis and requirements traceability), validating outputs and handling operational data according to sensitivity and security requirements.
Defines and promotes reliability engineering practices including Service Level Objectives (SLOs), Service Level Indicators (SLIs), reliability metrics, and operational resilience standards.
Makes significant contributions to JPMorganChase's site reliability and operational excellence communities through mentoring, governance forums, knowledge sharing, and engineering leadership.
Leads reuse-first adoption of AI-assisted reliability workflows across SDLC/toolchain practices (e.g., testing/validation automation and production readiness), ensuring traceability, auditability, resiliency, and security controls.
