Within 6 months you will:

  • Drive the research and testing of systems to help meet the needs of our Engineering teams, including writing RFCs to show what thoughts and considerations went into the selection of the system
  • Build, deploy, and support new platform components
  • Help develop a mature monitoring and alerting methodology for our systems

  • You have experience with monitoring and alerting as a means of proactively increasing uptime and reliability.
  • You have a willingness to learn new technologies and methodologies.
