About the role

Alpaca is seeking an experienced Incident Commander to lead high-severity incidents across a global 24x 7 roster. You will direct cross-functional responders, set severity, engage the right experts, and ensure rapid, reliable recovery while maintaining clear communications with executives and partners. You will own the incident lifecycle, from declaration to postmortem, driving blameless learnings and tangible follow-ups to prevent recurrence, with an emphasis on automation and efficient handoffs.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
