· You will support the operations and availability of your team’s artifacts by creating and monitoring metrics, escalating when needed, and supporting “keep the lights on” & on-call efforts.
· You will contribute to a sense of community on your team by engaging in growth and development activities such as participation in the interview process.
What We Look For
