Collaborate with internal application teams (our customers) to understand their CI/CD requirements, provide support, troubleshoot issues, and evangelize best practices for using CloudOS
Implement and manage monitoring, logging, and alerting solutions to ensure platform health and performance
Contribute to technical documentation, runbooks, and knowledge sharing within the team and for platform users
Stay current with industry trends and advancements in CI/CD, cloud-native technologies, DevOps, and platform engineering
Participate in an on-call rotation to support the CloudOS platform
Minimum Qualifications:
