  • Develop automation scripts and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to streamline troubleshooting and infrastructure management.
  • Build monitoring systems including custom dashboards, telemetry, and automated alerts to proactively detect system failures.
  • Participate in incident response, perform root cause analysis (RCA), and author operational runbooks.
  • Execute performance and load testing, including fault-injection scenarios, to ensure system correctness and availability.
  • Apply advanced security controls such as encryption and access management to protect multi-tenant environments.
  • Maintain compliance with industry standards through consistent documentation and adherence to change management protocols.

What we're looking for

  • Applicants must be able to read, write, and speak English.
  • Candidates must have 3 to 5+ years of experience.
