You thrive in environments where you can identify operational pain points and implement automated solutions for continuous improvement.
You are a strong communicator, capable of interfacing effectively between node operators and core developers to define best practices and ensure optimal performance. Your problem-solving skills are complemented by your ability to work collaboratively within a small, talented team of systems experts.
