As the service grows (millions of machines powering the back-end) and the pace is always increasing (adding new scale units every week), we are looking for engineers that are passionate about managing a service which spans across many continents and time zones, live site excellence, monitoring (our goal is to deliver a world class availability and stability to our customers while keeping the service secure and safe) and engineering improvements.
