A day in the life
In this role, you will collaborate with Product Teams to design solutions that make efficient use of resources and technologies.
You will bring a detail-oriented approach and excellent problem-solving abilities, backed by a deep understanding of distributed system design and delivery.
Your contributions will leverage cross-functional business and technical skills, assessing and managing risks, measuring and reporting on progress, anticipating and resolving bottlenecks, providing escalation management, making tradeoffs, and balancing business needs with technical constraints.

You will drive engineering deliverables through influence rather than authority, manage repair requests in a high-volume environment, and respond to high-severity events.
Regular presentations to senior leadership will require you to synthesize problems and solutions into a simple and consumable manner.
Additionally, you will be responsible for data collection, analytics, and dashboard creation to help others identify the best paths for business improvement.

Expect the opportunity to travel globally as needed to manage and support team initiatives, working closely with data center technicians to ensure success.
