  • Define and document processes to ensure smooth operations, especially during launches and testing
  • Lead launch operations planning and execution, including methods of procedure (MOPs), rollback strategies, maintenance windows, and delivery approvals
  • Build and maintain critical systems and 3rd-party tools that automate network operations
  • Develop anonymized dashboards for partner MNOs, ensuring they have visibility into usage on their networks

Requirements

  • 3+ years of experience in cellular core network deployments
  • Ability to analyze cellular system network trace data and packet captures, quickly identifying where issues should be routed
  • Proven success operating as a flexible team player in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment while driving complex initiatives to completion
  • Experience drafting MOPs and executing maintenance windows
  • Strong organizational skills and attention to details, including reviewing and managing detailed project plans
  • Hands-on experience troubleshooting and resolving network outages
  • Ability to review and interpret technical telco documentation with fluency in industry acronyms and terminology

Nice to have

  • Familiarity with Agile practices and task management tools like Jira
  • Experience working closely with telco infrastructure vendors

What we offer

  • 401(k) match
  • 100% coverage of medical, dental, and vision premiums for you and your dependents
  • 12 weeks paid parental leave (for all parents, no waiting period)
  • Stipends for Family-forming needs
