* Partner with technology and product teams to communicate priorities, issues, dependencies, and progress
* Provide hands-on technical support and development when needed
* Help troubleshoot application and deployment issues across on-premises and cloud environments
* Support security hardening and remediation efforts across customer-facing digital applications
* Serve as a technical liaison between engineering teams and project/product stakeholders

Technology Environment:

* Experience supporting on-premises/cloud hybrid environments
* Experience in banking, financial services, or other highly regulated environments

Ideal Candidate:

They should be comfortable leading people and organizing work while still being capable of jumping into the code, troubleshooting deployments, and helping solve technical problems.
