It is an exciting time to join us as we evolve our infrastructure and shift from traditional support to proactive digital enablement., As a Digital Solutions and Platform Engineer, you will own the operational reliability of the platforms supporting Acacia's engineering and business workflows. You will strengthen our infrastructure foundation by diagnosing complex issues, automating repeatable tasks, and reducing technical debt to ensure consistent performance as our environment scales. By balancing hands-on engineering with architectural thinking, you will transform recurring incidents into lasting improvements and establish your credibility through faster response times and stable, supportable systems. Your success will be measured by your ability to increase operational capacity, decrease repeat problems, and deliver technology-enabled improvements that empower the entire organization. ## Related Videos - [How Cisco embraced a DevOps culture within its network engineering team](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/99-how-cisco-embraced-a-devops-culture-within-its-network-engineering-team) - [Dev & Test in the Cloud?
