You are comfortable navigating logs, APIs, configuration files, and cross-system debugging Hypothesis-driven reasoning: when standard troubleshooting paths don't apply, you organize what you know, form a clear hypothesis about what's going on, prioritize what to test based on likelihood and impact, and adjust your approach as evidence comes in Direct customer communication: you can hold expectations, push back when warranted, and recover difficult conversations Pattern recognition: you notice when a problem is one-off vs. systemic and have a track record of fixing root causes, not just symptoms Cross-functional collaboration: you partner cleanly with peers and adjacent teams; you flag risks early rather than at crisis point Excellent communication: you tailor depth to audience - engineers, executives, end-users - and document for clarity Ownership and reliability: you finish what you start, with consistent follow-through Bachelor's Degree required #LI-BC1 We are committed to building a diverse team of Datavanters who are all responsible for stewarding a high-performance culture in which all Datavanters belong and thrive.
