  • Ensure mechanisms are in place to guarantee data durability
  • Keep your skills sharp by staying on top of industry trends and share relevant findings with the broader Engineering team

  • Ability to stay calm under pressure
  • Production experience operating high volume transactional systems
  • Strong background in AWS or other major cloud computing platform
  • Experience with Kubernetes is preferred
