What you'll be doing
- Customer-Centric Engineering: Act as a frontline engineer diagnosing, debugging, and solving complex issues related to our platform and integrations.
- Proactive Problem-Solving: Identify systemic issues before they become customer-facing problems by monitoring usage trends and system health.
- Root Cause Analysis: Work side-by-side with Engineering and Product teams to identify root causes and ensure we’re solving the right problems — not just patching symptoms.

- Comfort working with AWS cloud services (EC2, S3, Lambda) and understanding CI/CD workflows.
- Ability to write scripts, reproduce issues in code, debug logs, and analyze server-side and client-side issues.
- You obsess over delivering delightful customer experiences.
