You will be responsible for the day-to-day excellence of services supporting audio/video conferencing, recording, and live-streaming. This role requires a hands-on expert who can bridge the gap between complex infrastructure engineering and seamless product delivery within a global team environment.

  • Acting as an on-call responder during critical outages, guiding technical resolution, and participating in a global follow-the-sun rotation.

  • Facilitating blameless postmortems and implementing technical action items to prevent recurring issues.

  • Promoting preventive engineering by integrating automated guardrails into the development lifecycle to uphold architectural best practices before production deployment.
