• Pull Scripps Health's Redis stack out of the AR region before the migration deadline

What You'll Bring

• The kind of attention to detail that catches what spell-check misses
• Practical command of Self-Motivation, with bonus points for MySQL
• The communication discipline to over-share early and trim later
• A growth mindset that treats feedback as fuel, not threat
• Underdog-spirited problem-solving that doesn't wait for permission
