The Opportunity

Reporting to the Director of Platform Operations, we are adding a Cloud Operations Engineer to the team.

• Plan and deploy upgrades, configuration changes, and security patches.
• Drive continuous improvement. You will research and implement best practices in DevOps. You will explore and evaluate new and emerging software tools and technologies.
• Be on call on a rotation basis.
• Take ownership of not only your deliverables but the platform and drive resiliency on the platform as per an SRE mindset.
• Be hands-on. You will:
  • Assist in the configuration and support of customer environments.
