Your role will involve automating the software release and manual data reporting processes, deploying secure containerized applications, implementing robust \"shift-left\" security practices, increasing visibility of system health, supporting new infrastructure capabilities, ensuring reliability, scaling our product, and evaluating the latest AI practices aimed at improving overall engineering productivity. Working alongside a world-class team of engineers, you will ensure our production systems remain highly resilient, secure, and cost-optimized, giving our software teams the ultimate fast lane to innovate.

Location: Please note this is a hybrid role based out of our HQ in Kitchener, Ontario.
