• Ensuring an amazing customer experience by holding the bar for high uptime and site speed.
• Improving our incident response process and time

This is a unique role best suited for someone who can fearlessly take an idea and run with it, and use their broad expertise to work through the whole stack with confidence. Our ideal candidate has:
