• Improve Infrastructure as Code deployments using Pulumi to prepare infrastructure for continued customer growth and scale.
• Develop and refine internal tooling to improve engineering efficiency and infrastructure reliability.
• Strengthen the reliability, performance, and scalability of the core security platform that automates investigation techniques used to analyze security alerts.
• Participate actively in a 24x7 on-call rotation to maintain high availability and provide rapid response to production issues.
• Contribute to future multi-cloud infrastructure expansion efforts involving Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Microsoft Azure.
• Contribute to new product features when interested in doing so.
