About the role

The Insights & Reliability Engineering team builds data-intensive software systems that help Crunchyroll proactively detect, investigate, and improve reliability across user-facing experiences, including device QoE, payments, partner integrations, and core product journeys.

As a Senior Engineer, you will build, operate, and evolve tools, telemetry workflows, alerting systems, and operational insight platforms that turn high-volume product and platform data into actionable reliability signals. Your work will help engineering teams identify regressions, understand customer impact, improve signal quality, and drive systemic fixes before issues meaningfully affect users.

This is a software engineering role for someone who enjoys working close to data and production systems. The ideal candidate has strong coding fundamentals, SQL/data fluency, experience building reliable tools or data workflows, and the production instincts to solve ambiguous production problems across systems. As a senior engineer, you will help shape technical direction, define scalable operational practices, and influence cross-functional partners across engineering, product, data, and partner-facing teams.

What you will be doing

• Build, operate, and evolve reliability tooling, telemetry workflows, alerting systems, dashboards, and automation that help teams detect and investigate customer-impacting issues.
• Transform high-volume product, device, payment, partner, and platform telemetry into reliable operational signals for anomaly detection, alerting, debugging, and leadership visibility.
• Use SQL, logs, metrics, dashboards, and product context to identify anomalies, baseline performance, validate hypotheses, and uncover patterns that drive reliability improvements.
• Lead cross-team improvements to monitoring, alerting, signal quality, triage workflows, and operational automation, defining scalable patterns that reduce time to detection and resolution.
