• Work in tandem with development teams to manage and execute DevOps and Infrastructure initiatives
• Regularly evaluate and research alternative solutions to improve internal DevOps processes
• Continuously evaluate and refine the monitoring of our critical infrastructure and applications

Who you are:

• Proven track record: you have clear accomplishments both in and out of university, standing out from your peers.
• You have practical experience, applying your technical skills in a professional environment.
