You are comfortable working with developers, leadership, and less-technical individuals to help everyone provide value to Black Book. You enjoy taking opportunities to fix problems, mentor your peers, and like to step outside your comfort zone to continually develop your skillset. You understand that there’s a lot more to observability than CPU and RAM usage. You enjoy cloud technology!
