• Proactively identify gaps and bottlenecks that may prevent the team from achieving their goals in a timely manner.
• Stay on top of many small things for the team and constantly look for ways to improve and refine—manage our JIRA, maintain Confluence, onboard new team members, and keep the team calendar up-to-date.

• Can be on-call for live ops when the time comes.

• You’ve worked on client technology where you can showcase deep technical understanding, or you have a degree in computer science.
• Dev ops experience.
• Live ops experience.
• JIRA and Confluence expertise.
