Description

Are you a cloud engineer who runs production SaaS on Azure and AWS and owns it end-to-end, from the Terraform code to the RCA ?

CXT Software provides the technology backbone for delivery processes, empowering courier, route delivery, and healthcare companies to maximize operational potential. Our customers run their daily delivery operations on our platform, so uptime is what they buy from us.

Reporting to the Director of SaaSOps, you will shape how the platform is built, changed, and monitored.
