  • Closely collaborating with Developers to setup, configure and plan the necessary cloud services in support of new feature development on AWS

  • Securing our infrastructure at both the cloud layer (IAM) and application layer (PKI)

  • Building and expanding monitoring and alerting systems for both infrastructure and business operations, using internal tools & integrating into established 3rd party SaaS ones.

Our Approach to Flexible Work
 

With Flex Work, we’re combining the best of both worlds: in-person time and remote. Our approach enables our teams to deepen connections, maintain a strong community, and do their best work. We know that flexibility can take shape in many ways, so rather than a number of required days in-office each week, we simply spend at least half (50%) of our time each quarter in the office or in the field with our customers, prospects, and partners (depending on role). This means you'll have the freedom to create a flexible schedule that caters to your business, team, and personal needs, while being intentional to make the most of time spent together. Those in our remote "home office" roles also have the opportunity to come together in our offices for important moments that matter.
