Key Responsibilities

• Monitor system health and set up alerting for endlessly-iterating production environments
• Keep Manufacturing Plus's Python CI under ten minutes so Goodyear, AZ engineers stay in flow
• Identify bottlenecks and propose architectural improvements proactively
• Decode the undocumented Kubernetes service nobody at Manufacturing Plus remembers writing
• Decide when to buy Python versus build it for Manufacturing Plus's Goodyear, AZ stack
• Review pull requests and uphold engineering standards across the technology team
• Translate the data-driven Kubernetes outage into fixes that make the next Goodyear launch dull

Manufacturing Plus is Goodyear, AZ's answer to a technology industry grown lazy, run by a data-driven team that still cares about Kubernetes. Our AZ crew runs on candor, caffeine, and a stubborn refusal to ship sloppy work.

The whole offer in one line: $228,000 - $376,000, mentorship, benefits, and flexible remote hours that respect the life you have in AZ.
