Common requests you may be solving on a daily basis are:

- Deeper investigating in system logs to identify challenging technical problems
- Simple bash scripting and ‘one liners’ to perform common tasks

Technology changes fast so new updates are posted constantly. Downtime is used for training courses or to assist other team members with tasks. We understand that change and disruptive progress don’t just happen without amazing people working together every day! We’re not going to sugar coat that when we work, we work hard and even in downtime you are actively applying yourself. It sure beats being bored all day and I dare say your work days will actually be fun!
