  • Collaborate with stakeholders across engineering and product teams to understand needs and communicate progress
  • Write comprehensive documentation of technical procedures, configurations, and deployed solution architectures
  • Work cross-functionally to identify where infrastructure automation and cloud solutions can solve real problems
  • At times, create and own your own tickets and backlog items
Required Skills
  • 7+ years of experience with cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and/or site reliability engineering
