The role

- Participate in performance and load testing to keep systems fast and reliable
- Provide end-user support, including troubleshooting and debugging issues raised by staff
- Help train and onboard internal users on the tools you build and maintain
- Help uphold our security, reliability, and code-quality standards

- Strong fundamentals, good judgment, and the ability to work independently in a small team
Preferred qualifications
