- Integrate LPS workflows into broader clients tooling (e.g., scheduling, monitoring systems)

- Cross-train on client's internal platforms (SecDB, Slang) and support broader production needs

Your Profile

- Strong hands-on experience in C++ (debugging, code reading, and fixes)

- Experience in production support environments (incident handling, runbooks, operational support)

- Solid understanding of Unix/Linux environments (preferably Solaris exposure)
