## About the role

Lila's SCADA system spans cloud and on-premise infrastructure: Ignition gateways on EC2, a historian on RDS PostgreSQL, MQTT brokers, and edge nodes at each site. Today no single view shows the health of all of it, so the team learns about failures from users rather than from monitoring. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
