You will troubleshoot technical problems with a mix of debugging, networking, system administration and coding/scripting skills.

• Manage the health and performance of the environment using observability tools, carrying out maintenance and updates to roll out new features and keep the platform secure.
• Participate in a 24/7, on-call rotation for incident response escalation within response and on-site Service Level Agreements (SLA).
