• Instrument, monitor, and troubleshoot cloud and Kubernetes workloads using Datadog and other observability tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, Elastic stack, Fluentd, Istio, etc.)
• Support customer installations and consult on deployment topology for both cloud and on-premises environments
• Administer development environments and developer tooling that keep engineering teams productive
• Participate in production incident response and on-call rotations across distributed time zones, supporting any Kaseware system other than U.S. federal government protected environments
• Contribute new ideas, tools, and patterns to the Kaseware technical stack – we encourage every team member to innovate
