• Participate in a global on-call rotation, providing after-hours and Week-off support when assigned.

Qualifications

• 3-5 years of industry experience in a technical role.
• Strong technical foundation in at least two of the following: databases, distributed systems, cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure), Linux/Unix administration, or programming/scripting (Python, Bash, Java, etc.).
• Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills, with the ability to learn new systems quickly.
• Strong communication skills — both written and verbal — to interact effectively with technical and non-technical audiences.
• Proactive, customer-first mindset, with patience and persistence when resolving issues.
• Ability to work independently in a fully remote environment while collaborating across global teams.

• Familiarity with open-source software and community-driven projects.
• Knowledge of PostgreSQL or other relational databases.

Benefits
