Keep Netflix Live streaming events from melting under launch-moment traffic spikes
This SRE role sits inside Netflix's Live streaming org, owning cloud traffic reliability (API Gateway, inter-service IPC) for high-profile live events. The job is fundamentally about solving the 'thundering herd' problem when everyone hits the service at once at event start, through load testing, observability, and fault injection before showtime, then carrying an on-call pager during the event itself.
