Each engineer has 1 on-call rotation about every 10 weeks, taking on average 2-4 calls after-hours during the entire week (i.e, not many calls).
Training and certifications are extremely important to us and we have a training and certification plan we set each engineer on with goals and dates to meet the plan.
We have 9am morning video meeting huddles as well as company-wide all-hands meetings Friday afternoons every 2 weeks.
All of our meetings are done through Teams video meetings, and you will have a direct phone number and be connected into our phone system – which is why a very strong, fast Internet connection, with a fast computer and router, all hardwired with a good headset and boom mic are very important You will be working a lot on the phone.
We are a fun team at Xerillion and you’ll get the opportunity to work on a lot of interesting projects with Microsoft Cloud services.

If you do well with your training and supporting users, we will move you into project work over time.
