Our take: The real work here is chasing complex customer issues down through Linux, logs, and a Rails codebase, fixing them at the source, and turning each hard case into tools and docs that lift the whole support team.
If you love the moment a baffling production issue finally gives up its cause after you have followed it through Linux logs, a Rails codebase, and a customer's real environment, this is your kind of work. You will own hard escalations end to end, ship merge requests that fix the root problem, and turn what you learn into tools and docs the whole team leans on. It is fully remote, genuinely transparent, and built around shifts that respect your life.
