  • Understanding how software and production platforms are developed, tested, implemented, monitored, upgraded, and recovered.
  • Ability to partner with engineers, product managers, business leaders, operations teams, enterprise partners, and vendors.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, documentation, and root cause analysis skills, plus the curiosity and hands-on approach needed to become a go-to platform expert.
