Working Model & Schedule - Global Exposure & Quarterly Rotations: To foster close alignment with our distributed engineering teams and US leadership, this role follows a structured quarterly time-zone rotation (rotating through San Francisco/PST, New York/EST, and local daytime business hours). This cadence provides direct access to senior leadership, high-visibility global projects, and cross-functional teams across the organization. - Rotational On-Call Coverage: Shared participation in rotational weekend on-call pager duty to triage critical incidents alongside team members and leadership. - Location & Hybrid Flexibility: Based in Bangalore.
