- DevOps: Take ownership of our web infrastructure, ensuring reliable and efficient operation of our web applications. You’ll manage deployments and maintain smooth functionality on platforms such as GitHub, Heroku, PostgreSQL, Redis, and Fastly CDN.
- Learning Content: (optional) We love to learn new things. That's why we also love to help our users and community learn new things. Our learning content on Git and lots of other software topics is read by hundreds of thousands of people every month. In case you have a knack for writing good content, you're welcome to contribute through blog posts or in-depth tutorials for our community.
