(2) Self-service platform tooling — building frameworks and libraries so product teams can self-serve reliability without Infra as a bottleneck. (3) Reactive work — on-call, urgent feature requests, reliability debt. The goal is to minimize #3 through #1 and #2. There is still meaningful reliability debt to work through when you join.
