Collaborate with multiple departments to translate their workflows into maintainable, scalable, and systemic solutions

Manage and prioritize multiple projects and their respective tasks independently while contributing to long-term architectural planning

Share knowledge with teammates in tool development, infrastructure best practices, and debugging complex integrations

Solid understanding of distributed systems, including performance optimization, fault tolerance, and observability

Experience administering, optimizing, and migrating databases (MySQL, MongoDB, Redis) and understanding when it makes sense to use one over another

Familiarity managing and developing both cloud and on-prem infrastructures leveraging containerization, infrastructure as code (Terraform/Ansible), and observability tools

Excellent communication and collaboration skills necessary for working across our various departments and disciplines to improve their quality of life
