• Integrate ephemeral environments with code review and testing workflows

Observability & Alerting

• Implement intelligent alerting systems with noise reduction and event correlation
• Configure dashboards and SLI/SLO metrics for critical services
• Establish automated runbooks and auto-remediation for common incidents
• Integrate observability (logs metrics traces) into the developer portal

Infrastructure as Code & Security

• Maintain and evolve infrastructure as code (Terraform CloudFormation etc.)

Claras Hybrid Policy

Claridians in a hybrid mode split their time between working from the office talking to or visiting customers or working from home. This hits a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other while supporting flexibility about how to do this in a way that makes sense for each individual and team.

We dont enforce a minimum number of days for most roles but youre expected to spend time at the office organically and be at the office most days during your ramp-up or when required by your leader.
