About 8x8 UC Operations

The UC Operations team manages the production infrastructure behind 8x8s Unified Communications platform voice fax messaging and collaboration services used by enterprise customers globally. The team oversees dozens of applications running across more than two thousand service instances worldwide spanning VoIP infrastructure messaging brokers storage systems and cloud workloads across Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and physical datacenters.

UC Ops sits at the operational center of 8x8 taking escalations from the NOC coordinating with Engineering and working alongside Support Sales and Professional Services. The work is complex the systems are live and the stakes are real. We are actively moving from reactive operations to a proactive automation-first SRE model and we are looking for engineers who want to help build that not just maintain the status quo.

What Youll Do

• Production Operations & Incident Response

• Own platform reliability across global UC infrastructure driving incident response rather than just resolving in isolation.

• Triage and resolve complex issues service restarts hung processes infrastructure failures and act as an escalation for the NOC when frontline teams hit their limit.

• Execute the unglamorous but essential work: scheduled maintenance certificate renewals log rotation the stuff that prevents failure before it happens.

• Lead blameless post-mortems that produce real follow-through not action items that disappear into a backlog.

Cross-Team Collaboration

• Work directly with Support Sales Sales Engineering NOC Professional Services and Engineering teams across 8x8 this team sits at the operational center of the company.

• Translate production events into clear business-readable communication under pressure; stakeholders across the org depend on your judgment during incidents.

• Feed operational insight back into engineering turning recurring failures and patterns into actionable bug reports and platform improvements.

• Reliability Engineering & Automation

• Identify recurring manual work and build automation to eliminate it we treat toil as a bug not a requirement.

• Participate in 2-week sprint cycles to deliver automation tooling improvements runbook development and infrastructure initiatives from a structured backlog.

• Address security issues as they arise CVEs misconfigurations access control gaps treated as first-class work alongside incident response.

• Define and track SLIs SLOs and SLAs to drive honest data-driven conversations about where reliability investment is needed.

• Build and maintain dashboards (Grafana OCI Log Analytics) that give the team genuine signal; tune alerting to eliminate noise a high-noise on-call is itself a reliability failure.

• Leverage AI-powered tooling to accelerate diagnostics and reduce cognitive load at scale.

On-Call & Coverage

• Shared on-call rotation approximately 1 week per month same expectation for every engineer on the team.
