  • Identify underlying production issues, leveraging knowledge and experience to suggest actionable solutions
  • Collaborate with other teams across engineering as well as cross-functionally
  • Partner with external stakeholders to design our services, demonstrating the highest levels of professionalism throughout

Requirements
