Constantly building domain knowledge of internet infrastructure because the deeper the understanding the better and faster your work gets
Over time youre identifying patterns in the work that make the whole system smarter
What your day-to-day will look like
From day one youll be in the center of the action. Youll start by triaging your queue: understanding whats come in overnight or since your last shift prioritizing by SLA urgency and clearing blockers before they become problems.
