At PagerDuty, we’re reimagining how teams learn from and respond to technology incidents—and we’re looking for a passionate SDE-2 engineer to join us on that journey. You’ll help design and build the next generation of features that power our core system for post-incident learning and agentic (AI-driven) workflows—tools that help our customers turn insights into continuous improvement. Here, you’ll collaborate with talented engineers who are deeply committed to excellence, innovation, and lifting each other up. If you’re excited by solving meaningful problems, growing alongside others who share your curiosity and drive, and contributing to PagerDuty’s mission of making the world’s digital operations more reliable and resilient, this is the place to make your mark.

- You, along with your team members, will own and maintain the production systems that you build over the long term, be on-call for production issues, and steer the future direction of the components.
- Participating in your team’s on-call rotation, triaging and addressing production issues as they arise.

- Familiarity with version control and collaborative workflows (Git, pull requests, code reviews)
- Clear, concise communication and a collaborative, growth-oriented attitude
