  • Investigate and assist in resolving performance escalations and capacity planning issues as required.

What You Bring:

  • Proficiency in Python, Java, and Linux shell scripting are required.
  • Familiarity with Linux system-level performance measurement and associated tooling (for example: how to measure and compare CPU and disk I/O performance between cloud provider instance types).
  • Knowledge of cloud orchestration with Kubernetes.
  • Experience with cloud architectures, service models, and operating across multiple cloud service providers.
  • Ability to assess tradeoffs from both performance and deployment perspectives.
  • Ability to multitask, effectively manage your time, and collaborate with team members globally across time zones.

Bonus Points:
