Meet our Team:

We are part of the Site Reliability Engineering Team (SRE) at PayPal. Our ethos is continuously improving our processes and automation.

As the Change Reliability Team in SRE, our goal is incident prevention and reducing incident blast radius through high change reliability across all PayPal products and services.

A little bit about our team culture:

• Communication is key to our process, and we don't want to hinder it with walls. Many teams program in pairs, which means you always have another set of eyes to help you.
• We practice test-driven development and believe that it helps us deliver simple solutions focused on real customer needs. We have no QA department - developers test, release and monitor their own code.
• We keep the team in sync with daily stand-ups and have regular retrospectives to discuss things that are going well and opportunities for improvements.
• We value unique perspectives brought by diverse backgrounds and experiences. A broad range of ideas and perspectives help us to create the best possible product.

• You will help build internal products, automating at scale and enabling DevOps
• You will be responsible for designing, building, and maintaining products and automation to support fast and safe production releases at PayPal
