As a member of our Platform Delivery team, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute to a high-profile group that plays a critical role in the organization. This team works cross-functionally across engineering departments to ensure the timely release of multiple products.
We strive to maintain a DevOps culture (empowering development, infrastructure as code, etc.) for a growing set of micro-service based SaaS products. We also support an ownership culture and have developers on-call for their services. We find this helps prevent the traditional "worked in Dev, Ops problem now" mentality.
