The role

- Review pull requests and uphold engineering standards across the technology team
- Scale data pipelines processing millions of events with Leadership
- Keep the technology PostgreSQL service humming through Orange's holiday traffic surge
- Pull Mercedes-Benz's GitHub Actions stack out of the CA region before the migration deadline
What You'll Bring
- 1+ years navigating the politics that technology work attracts
- Authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship
- The discipline to finish the boring 20% that makes the rest matter
- Knowledge of CA-specific regulations relevant to technology work
- The integrity to flag your own mistakes first
