  • Monitor, refine, and optimize existing cloud service architecture and resource utilization
  • Provide exceptional experiences for our guests, partners, and team members, including by adhering to our appearance and presentation guidelines while on-site.

  • Strong experience with industry-standard CI/CD tools/workflows (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, etc.)
  • Strong experience with implementing and managing metrics monitoring and application performance monitoring (APM) tools (Prometheus/Grafana, DataDog, Sentry, NewRelic, etc.)
  • Experience with VFX, Post-Production, and Animation pipelines a plus
