- Develop and maintain lightweight scripts or simple automation to reduce manual tasks and improve operational consistency.
- Support the transition of operational workloads from engineering teams into the Hardware Fleet Operations team.
Who We Are Looking For

- Prior experience in a technical support, operations, or IT service delivery role.
- Comfortable in working primarily in Linux terminal environments.
- Experience following and improving runbooks, documentation, and operational processes.
- Familiarity with ticketing systems such as Jira or ServiceNow in an operations context.
