  • Develop automation and pipelines to ingest, process, and classify operational data, reducing manual triage effort.
  • Contribute directly to codebases (Python, backend services) and partner with Engineering on system integrations (logs, telemetry, alerts).
  • Act as the primary technical interface between the Remote Operations Center (ROC) and Engineering.
