Key Responsibilities

• Translate the heads-down-and-happy Linux Administration outage into fixes that make the next Burbank launch dull
• Hand off Redis runbooks so the next on-call at Retail Plus Inc sleeps better
• Translate fuzzy product wishes from Retail Plus Inc stakeholders into shippable Python services
• Reach into legacy Serverless modules and leave them cleaner than you found them
• Pair with cross-functional partners to scope and deliver freelance projects
• Resurrect flaky Presentation Skills tests until the Burbank, CA suite is trustworthy again
• Ship Python experiments fast, kill the losers, and double down on what sticks
• Scale Retail Plus Inc's Serverless services from Burbank pilot to CA-wide rollout

What You'll Bring

• The kind of listening that makes the other person feel heard
• Real Empathy chops, plus the Load Balancing curiosity to keep growing
• Track record that proves you can question-everything ship under deadline pressure
• Experience translating Python complexity for a non-technical audience
• The diplomacy to align stakeholders who don't agree yet
• The communication discipline to over-share early and trim later
