The role

  • Report incident status to stakeholders and hand off cleanly

What they ask for

  • Hands-on Kubernetes, RabbitMQ and PostgreSQL experience in an enterprise setting, ideally financial services
  • Strong working knowledge of Azure; GCP or AWS familiarity is a plus

  • Experience troubleshooting production systems under time pressure with sound escalation judgment
  • Clear, calm communication during live incidents
  • 10+ hours per week in business hours plus alternate-weekend coverage of 8 hours each day (about 72+ hours per month)
