• Develop deployment processes and tools to ensure our software gets to customers safely and efficiently.

• Improve onboarding by automating setup tasks, introducing engineers to key tools and processes, and accelerating their first successful deployment.

• Define and monitor key delivery metrics, and respond to any major degradation or anomalies in service.

You’ll thrive in this role if you

• Enjoy customizing your tools to improve your workflow.

• Believe that automating repetitive tasks improves both speed and consistency.

• Are excited to collaborate directly with engineers and gather feedback to improve their experience.
