- Participate in planned maintenance windows (evenings or weekends on a rotating basis)
- Support global infrastructure projects across compute, storage, and interconnects
- Write tooling and automation to diagnose issues and reduce operational overhead
- Work across multiple codebases and languages to support and extend operational tooling




- Implement and maintain performance, fault, and health monitoring systems

- Participate in an on-call rotation and scheduled maintenance coverage
- Adhere to all cybersecurity, hardware, and software usage policies

Skills & Experience
