The Platform Engineer is responsible for creating and maintaining availability and high-performance in mixed UNIX and Windows development, non-production, and production environments. This individual works as part of a service-delivery team that assists developers, operations teams, and business teams to get results from a delivered platform as quickly as possible. Additionally, the Platform Engineer performs root cause analysis of problems, selects, develops, and implements automation tools, as well as actively participates in deeply technical discourse.
