  • Maintain and improve CI/CD infrastructure across MI engineering teams

  What You'll Bring

  • The judgment to distinguish a fire drill from an actual fire
  • Authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship
  • Hands-on familiarity with Help Desk Support, sharpened by Wireshark side projects
  • The discipline to document while it's fresh, not after it's forgotten
