  • Support operations functions, including problem isolation, remediation and documentation
  • Regularly re-assess and compare the platform’s internal ecosystem with the industry’s leading solutions 
  • Oversee technical designs for software solutions that combine Open Source components, COTS (commercial off the shelf) components, and custom developed components
  • Participate in a 24×7 on call rotation for tier 3 support

  • 8+ years of relevant industry experience
