You'll know your way around our environments and be a reliable pair of hands when something needs troubleshooting.\nBy twelve months, you'll be actively improving our pre-production environments and CI/CD pipelines, raising the bar on observability, and colleagues across the business will turn to you for the tricky infrastructure problems.\nPerformance Standards\nYour performance will be assessed based on, but not limited to, the following:\nQuality and accuracy.
