This role is ideal for an individual with broad technology and troubleshooting skills who has the desire to expand their knowledge in critical areas such as networking, storage, Kubernetes, automation, and observability. Candidates in this role likely aspire to a career as an SRE, domain specific engineer or engineering management.
You will work with a team of 8 Operations Engineers and have the opportunity to work on the full gamut of rewarding challenges that come with operating the AI Cloud in a communicative, supportive, and high-performing environment.
As a member of the Cloud Operations Team you have the opportunity to:
- With a customer first mindset, proactively identify performance and availability issues in production
- Interpret operational and observability data to assess system performance and adherence to Service Level Objectives
- Investigate, validate and triage alerts and incidents

- Partner with SRE and Service Owning teams to ensure operational readiness for services and applications
- Create and maintain knowledge articles and documentation
- Learn and navigate the tools, systems and processes that enable the AI cloud
- Grow, change, invest in your teammates, be invested-in, share your ideas, listen to others, be curious, have fun, and above all, be yourself.
