A day in the life

The role needs to ensure that the data we vend is accessible to all of our customers by reviewing system health metrics and the status of the various automated jobs. They'll then check for any tickets that came in for ad-hoc operational requests before moving on to the project work assigned for that sprint. Typically they'll need to reach out to several stakeholders to discuss requirements and iterate on solutions. After project work has completed, they'll update their tracking tickets and evaluate the backlog for the next priority. Once a week or so they'll take some time to explore new technologies and recommend how they can be integrated into the program.
