* Collaborate with engineering and data teams to streamline processes, automate workflows, and promote best practices
* Troubleshoot complex production issues, ensuring timely resolution while continuously improving system reliability and support processes
* Work cross-functionally to identify gaps, enhance tooling, and improve the overall user experience

* Excellent communication skills with the ability to interact directly with technical and non-technical stakeholders
* Familiarity with cloud platforms, infrastructure concepts, and automation tooling
* A proactive mindset with a strong interest in learning and improving systems
