Your team
You'll ensure that Frontify's system infrastructure is cared for, maintained, and improved – it's a fast-changing infrastructure, so there's always something going on. Working closely with the R&D team, you'll investigate and identify the root cause of infrastructure issues, enabling the team to resolve them, as well as document relevant processes. Beyond managing the daily infrastructure needs, you'll be the first point of contact for our Europe- and US-based teams on anything related to the technical aspects of our platform.
