Responsibilities

Design API Interactions for New Functionality: Participate in design sessions for new warehouse functionality, understanding not just the "what" but the "why" of the new feature. Understand the responsibility of each LinOS subsystem, so that you can divide new functionality between them and design the necessary cross-system interactions. Collaborate with the leads of each LinOS subsystem to refine the new cross-system interactions. Communicate the new functionality and interactions to the development teams via documentation and training sessions, so that they understand the role of their subsystem in the new behavior and can implement it effectively and efficiently.
Improve Overall System Performance and Quality: Understand and improve LinOS's cross-system monitoring and telemetry capabilities. Identify system bottlenecks and spearhead work to improve overall system performance. Be the "last expert" to diagnose system issues, called in for the most important or difficult-to-diagnose problems.
Be the "Overall Expert" on LinOS: Serve as a resource for teams and individuals with questions about how LinOS operates. Develop documentation and training for new team members to come up-to-speed on LinOS.
