Own reliability, automation, and observability for Dropbox's internal IT Services infrastructure

This is a Corporate SRE role on Dropbox's IT Services org (Remote - Poland, IC3), focused on infrastructure-as-code, monitoring/observability programs, and incident response rather than product-facing systems. Expect deep technical questions on Terraform/Ansible automation, AWS, Kubernetes/container orchestration, and Datadog-based observability pipelines.
