Company Description

Job Description

We are seeking a Mid-Level Engineer to support a live production hiring-event platform used by client-facing teams and end users.

- Monitor production systems and respond quickly to alerts, performance degradation, or system health concerns.

- Support timely issue resolution in alignment with established SLAs.

- Maintain and update event logic as dependencies, systems, and business requirements change.

- Support architecture changes and system integrations that may impact event functionality.

- Own code changes through build, merge, deployment, and post-deployment validation.

- Communicate clearly and concisely when working through ambiguous production issues.

- Use data and system signals to troubleshoot production behavior and identify root causes.
