At MNTN, we’ve built a culture based on quality, trust, ambition, and accountability – but most importantly, we really enjoy working here.

MNTN has experienced phenomenal growth over the past few years. Our startup-based engineering environment yields a fast-paced time to market and demands a fast-paced production operations team. Our technology footprint boasts thousands of production services, enormous databases housing petabytes of data, and a complex pipeline that poses challenges when analyzing the downstream impact of any single individual production deployment. You’ll join a world-class product engineering team and be a crucial part of our exciting journey, ensuring our software and product value propositions operate smoothly and successfully throughout their production lifecycle.

• Apply and foster data analysis methods for diving deeper into complex production issues that span MNTN’s enormous technology pipeline
• Create and implement operational procedures and methodologies that you will apply across your three team functions
• Maintain broad-to-granular dashboards that give varying levels of stakeholders transparency on the health of our production systems
• Partner with customer success and engineering teams to streamline production response efforts while adhering to SLAs
• Prioritize effectively in a fast-paced environment and highly-matrixed organization
• Apply a strong bias for action and the ability to translate strategy into product and program plans with milestones and measurements
• Create and foster team collaboration throughout the organization to execute successful projects and procedures

• Experience maintaining, monitoring, and triaging the health of large, complicated, highly available production systems
• Operational experience, such as building and maintaining production processes, escalations and SLAs, tech support teams, or client-facing teams
• Communication skills working with technical and non-technical stakeholders and the ability to tailor your messaging to your audience
• Experience with researching, debugging, analyzing, and building tools and frameworks
• Willingness to get hands-on when needed and lead by example as you grow your teams to their full potential
