What Success Looks Like Your First 30 Days: Get to know the team, explore our AWS environments and tooling, and start contributing to infrastructure improvements. Your First 60 Days: Take ownership of initial projects, identify opportunities for automation and optimization, and collaborate on technical solutions. Your First 90 Days: Lead a meaningful infrastructure improvement, contribute to cloud reliability and efficiency, and help shape how we support our products moving forward.
